Back in February, Solidlux made a pledge to support the Vita Nova solution and return all of our Corian and Polygood off-cuts and extraction dust. Vita Nova is a creative take-back and repurposing solution aimed at minimising the waste generated by the surface materials industry in the UK and Ireland. Meaning ‘new life’, Vita Nova aims to revive solid surface materials and extend their useful life in new applications. We want to express our gratitude to CDUK for introducing this wonderful scheme, which allows Solidlux to give waste materials a second life instead of sending them to landfills.

Here is a great short video on LVL production and manufacturing via Paulius Milcius. Great to learn how. #prefab #engineering #architecture #wood #modular #house

Laminated veneered lumber (LVL) is indeed the new steel, the new concrete, which can help us to turn the built environment from a source of GHG emissions into a carbon sink ie from part of the problem into part of the solution. Great video showing how efficiently the timber is used to make LVL. To understand the potential of LVL & other engineered timbers to help decarbonise the planet then take a read of Timber! https://lnkd.in/e27HFtkJ

While this image has been imagined through DALL.E 3 its totally possible and easy with Australia’s newest CodeMarked rendered cladding option. Mineral Wool cladding has been used in the USA and Europe since the 1980’s and the patented BASROC system for the stud wall has seen recent specifications on energy conscience, multi-res projects in Melbourne’s Bayside and the Bellarine Peninsula. Why? The Director stated, “I prioritise materials that enhance energy ratings and sites efficiency.  It was the clear choice for our project, the lightweight design reduced labour, potential on-site injuries and the time-line.  It’s CodeMarked so I had the assurance it was suitable and great sound and thermal properties (R-value 1.45) also the non-combustibility and eco-qualities align with our commitment to sustainability and budget-conscious solutions. For our projects and what we present to clients it’s not just about meeting expectations but providing those standards well into future." www.basroc.com.au #NatHERS #EnergyEfficiency #Cladding

Building Green. Look at this amazing net zero project in Bålsta, Sweden, where PRIMX installed 17,000 m² of jointless concrete flooring. The aim of the client was to build a logistics facility prioritizing sustainability and achieving net-zero construction. "Working on this project was important for PRIMX because it demonstrated our commitment to building sustainably. Collaborating closely with the general contractor and developer, we all shared a vision for creating greener facilities. This project’s success shows that it's possible to build eco-efficient structures without compromising on quality," says Primekss | PrīmX® Industrial Concrete Flooring & Structural Scandinavia Sales Manager, Roberts Kļaviņš. Projects like these are vital for reducing environmental impact in the construction industry.
