In 2022, mass timber made up just 1% of all building construction materials in North America. However, its popularity is quickly rising as a cheaper and greener alternative. More provinces are saying yes to this innovative approach, signaling a significant shift in the future of construction. Understanding moisture's role in ensuring durability is crucial for mass timber construction. Our #ExactAire technology offers real-time data, ideal for monitoring and controlling conditions.

🚀⚛️ Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) is an innovative construction method combining structural strength with exceptional thermal and acoustic insulation. Expanded polystyrene forms are assembled and filled with concrete, creating durable, energy-efficient walls. It is ideal for sustainable projects, reducing energy consumption and operational costs while enhancing comfort and environmental performance 🎥 By Leandro Pontes

Permeable Concrete: A Game-Changer for Sustainable Construction Get a Detailed Sample Report PDF: https://lnkd.in/dPURXwzV (Please share your work email for delivery of the PDF) Permeable concrete, also known as porous or pervious concrete, is gaining momentum in the construction industry due to its ability to allow water to pass through its surface, helping to manage stormwater and reduce runoff. Unlike traditional concrete, which creates impermeable surfaces, permeable concrete is designed with larger voids, enabling rainwater to percolate through the pavement and into the ground. This eco-friendly feature helps prevent flooding, reduces the strain on drainage systems, and supports groundwater recharge, making it a key material for sustainable urban development. In construction, permeable concrete is commonly used in projects such as parking lots, sidewalks, driveways, and low-traffic roadways. It is especially beneficial in areas prone to heavy rainfall or flooding, where effective stormwater management is critical. By reducing runoff, permeable concrete helps to minimize the heat island effect, improve water quality, and contribute to the overall sustainability of urban spaces. As cities continue to face environmental challenges, permeable concrete is poised to play a significant role in creating greener, more resilient infrastructure. #PermeableConcrete #SustainableConstruction #StormwaterManagement #GreenInfrastructure #EcoFriendlyBuilding #UrbanSustainability (This video for demo purpose only.

Eco-Friendly Pervious Concrete: Promoting Sustainable Drainage and Groundwater Recharge Pervious concrete, also known as porous or permeable concrete, is a unique type of concrete designed to allow water to pass through its surface. Made with a combination of large aggregates, minimal or no fine aggregates, and a controlled water-to-cement ratio, pervious concrete creates interconnected voids throughout the material. This structure enables rapid water drainage, making it ideal for reducing surface runoff and recharging groundwater in urban environments. Commonly used in parking lots, sidewalks, and driveways, pervious concrete helps reduce flooding risks and manage stormwater sustainably. Additionally, it decreases the heat island effect by cooling surfaces, promoting environmentally friendly infrastructure in cities and suburban areas.

Lunawood ThermoWood® tested to comply with Fire Class D It is our pleasure to inform that flat Lunawood spruce and pine cladding products, with a minimum thickness of 19 mm, comply with EU Commission’s delegated regulation defining the requirements for the reaction-to-fire classification of wooden cladding, panels, and batten elements, demanding testing for all treated and modified wood products. New regulation is coming to force 20 August, 2024. This Fire Class D rating for Lunawood products has been achieved without any fire protection treatment, preserving the basic principle of Lunawood ThermoWood®: a completely non-toxic, safe, and durable natural material.
