Eco-friendly construction or harmful houses?

Eco-friendly construction

Environmental friendliness is rapidly gaining popularity worldwide. For instance, residents of Ufa have increasingly started thinking about making the right choices.
Just twenty years ago, buyers primarily focused on price, but now priorities have changed. Yes, cost still plays an important role, however, statistics show that from 2000 to 2015, demand for eco-friendly goods and products has only been growing.

Harmful houses

One could write more than one article listing all the pros and cons of building with materials that contain health-hazardous elements. Obviously, insulation is not consumed as food, but it can release substances into the air that day after day, year after year, destroy our bodies. As a result, residents develop a whole range of chronic diseases, even if they live outside the city and lead a healthy lifestyle.

Harmless materials

ETIZ company has developed and released a new generation insulation material — foam glass. Its main advantage is a 100% natural composition: sand and soda. What does this mean? First, no matter how long the insulation remains in the structure, it is completely harmless to health. No toxic emissions occur because the composition consists of ordinary sand and soda. Second, it does not emit harmful substances even in case of fire. Sad statistics show that the most common cause of tragedy during a fire is not the fire itself, but combustion products. Thus, ETIZ insulation always safeguards human health.

Caring for nature

It has long been known that the "sixth" fuel, the largest energy source on the planet, is saved energy. By creating an energy-efficient home insulated with foam glass, you can reduce heating and air conditioning costs by up to 80%.
At the same time, the production of foam glass requires significantly less energy than it saves, and the manufacturing technology itself causes no harm to nature.

Sound insulation

ETIZ products have proven themselves as highly effective sound insulation. Foam glass has a porous structure, and sound waves are "dampened" within it. For example, the airborne sound insulation index of a partition made of two 10 mm gypsum board sheets with a 100 mm ETIZ board of 120 kg/m³ density in between is calculated at 54 dB. Sound absorption is "Class A" (the highest). Thanks to these properties, ETIZ can be used in the construction of premium comfort buildings.

Conclusion

Caring for health and nature is not just a fashionable trend. Caring for the future, for the health of your loved ones, for the nature in which we will all live tomorrow — this is the smartest investment today.

And the fact that ETIZ boards allow a building to "breathe", creating a comfortable humidity regime inside the premises, is yet another advantage.
The environmental friendliness and safety of ETIZ foam glass thermal insulation, made from silicate glass, is confirmed by voluntary certificate No. 155 dated September 20, 2011.
