Both are now high on the wish list of builders, environmentalists and politicians
While sustainability depends on the type of building, its use, service life, etc. and therefore requires different evaluation criteria, there is one fundamental requirement for every building project: a healthy indoor climate and little or no emissions in the construction.
By building with CN expanded clay, you’re on the safe side on these points.
For a pleasant interior climate, for example, striking the right balance between thermal insulation and heat storage is an indispensable necessity. This means that purely aiming for high thermal insulation will not produce an optimum result. CN expanded clay offers both good thermal insulation as well as good heat storage capacity.
CN expanded clay also excels with low emissions, whether used purely use as thermal and acoustic insulation, or in processed form such concrete, blocks, mortar or plasters. Low emissions as well as excellent thermal insulation properties come guaranteed, to the point where even in the event of damage by fire or water exposure, CN expanded clay is completely emission-free.
So, in summary, even a traditional building material like CN expanded clay can meet today’s requirements head-on.
