Locally sourced excellence. How can specifiers and designers benefit from this? Superior quality: Enjoy the finest leather crafted with meticulous attention to detail and care.

At Muirhead, 99% of our hides come from the UK and Ireland, usually within a 400-mile radius of our tannery, with 80% from Scottish grass-fed livestock. We work closely with local farmers and abattoirs to ensure exceptional standards, and many are adopting regenerative farming practices. This helps regenerate topsoil, increase biodiversity, and improve the water cycle, ensuring the health and vitality of farm soil, our animals, and our Scottish leather.

Recycling beer bottles into decorative glass showcases the creative potential of waste materials, blending environmental responsibility with aesthetic innovation. Crushed beer bottles can be recycled and transformed into beautiful decorative glass pieces through a specialized process. The process begins by collecting and crushing the bottles into small fragments. These glass shards are then cleaned, melted down at high temperatures, and molded into various shapes such as vases, tiles, or ornaments. Colors and textures can be added to create unique designs, turning waste glass into artistic décor. This sustainable practice reduces landfill waste, conserves natural resources, and gives new life to discarded bottles. video rights : Respective owners DM for removal/credits #glass #architecture #construction #civilengineering #engineering #civilconstruction #engenharia #engenhariacivil #engenheiro #engenheirocivil #ingeniero #ingenierocivil

#Limestone offers a classic, natural look with each piece having a unique texture, but requires regular maintenance to preserve its beauty.Maintaining #limestone can be quite a commitment. It requires sealing every two to three years to protect it from stains and weather damage, a process that involves cleaning the surface thoroughly before applying a sealant. Moreover, #limestone is susceptible to acidic substances, so spills need to be cleaned up promptly to avoid permanent marks. #Porcelaintiles , on the other hand, boasts durability and ease of maintenance with consistent colouring and robustness that withstands the elements. #Porcelain #tiles , in contrast, offers a hassle-free solution. Its non-porous nature means stains sit on the surface and can be wiped away easily without special cleaners. This minimal upkeep makes #porcelaintiles a favourite for those who prefer spending more time enjoying their #outdoor space rather than maintaining it. Cerampakhsh.com
