UK-based Redi-Rock has recently designed a range of blocks that meets the challenges posed by engineers and architects while at the same time keeps up with the global green appeal.

Following a restructuring of the company early this year, Al Manaratain – Bahrain’s largest producer of construction blocks – is poised to expand into Saudi Arabia soon, with the setting up of a new plant for concrete blocks and precast slabs.

Electricity is one of the – if not the – major operating costs of buildings and hence it is essential to thermally insulate buildings to reduce the growing energy costs and conserve energy resources, says the Saudi Arabia-based manufacturer of bricks and blocks El Maimani Red Brick & Clay Products Factories.
