Innovative Sustainable materials

Innovative materials help to save time and at the same time energy. It is well-known that wood and concrete are two very old and basic product of construction environment. Keeping that fact in mind, we have to be aware of that they are improved all the time, and new materials are produced, and the traditional materials are manufactured in different technics to achieve a better quality, strength and environmental and economic impact.

There are large number of innovative sustainable materials used in construction industry.

Plywood

Plywood is a wood-based panel, which has at the same time a very good mechanical strength, and a light weight. It is a type of manufactured timber made from thin sheets of wood veneer and one of the most widely used wood products. It is flexible, inex-pensive, workable, re-usable, and can usually be locally manufactured.

CO2 Absorbing Concrete

Concrete is the most widely used building material in the world because of its beauty, strength and durability, among other benefits. Concrete is used in nearly every type of

construction, including homes, buildings, roads, bridges, airports and subways, just to name a few. And in an era of increased attention on the environmental impact of con-struction, concrete performs well when compared to other building materials. As with any building product, production of concrete and its ingredients does require energy that in turn results in the generation of carbon dioxide, or CO2. The amount of CO2 produced during manufacturing and the net impact of using concrete as a building ma-terial is relatively small.

Carbon fibre 

Carbon fibre is made from carbon which is thinner than human hair. Carbon fibre is high strength, flexible and light weight material. Carbon fibre is five times strength than steel. Carbon fibre easily can be molded to any shapes. Carbon fibre can be used for construction in areas with that are exposed to hurricanes and tornados.

Solar panel roofing tiles

 Companies tend to produce solar tiles due to they absorb energy from the sun. Solar tiles are fully integrated into the building. Solar tiles are protecting building from its inhabitants. Solar panel roofing tiles transform the sun’s energy into electric power. Then building use that power to its own purposes.

Cross Laminated Timber

If we are talking about Plywood, we have to talk about Cross Laminated Timber, so called X-Lam, too. The idea they are produced are the same, layers of wood panels glued on and on each other.  

Reactive Powder Concrete

Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC), also known as Ultra High Performance Concrete is one of a number of cement based building materials that have emerged in the last two decades. Its creation is credited to the French Bouygues laboratory in the early 1990’s and has since been used in an increasing number of applications around the globe.
