Sustainable Construction: An Eco-friendly Approach to the Future
Building sustainably has become a fundamental approach in the modern construction industry. Alongside the growing awareness about the importance of looking after our planet, this practice now stands as an essential pillar for the future. Sustainable construction not only means using eco-friendly materials but also encompasses a comprehensive approach that considers the environmental, social and economic impact from a project.
The Advantages of Sustainable Construction
Sustainable construction offers countless benefits for both the environment and society. First of all, it significantly reduces the ecological footprint by using sustainably sourced materials and minimising the waste generated during the construction and demolition of buildings. It also encourages energy efficiency, which leads to reduced natural resource consumption and lower costs in the long term for building owners.
Eco-sustainable Collections from Exagres
Sustainability has been a core value for Exagres as a company and brand since day one, and we are pioneers in the ceramic industry by offering fully recyclable and eco-sustainable construction materials. This is reflected in such eco-friendly products as our Gresan Curtain line, the innovative Exadeck ceramic decking and the exclusive exa|TECH| collection for ventilated façades.
Gresan Curtain Collection
We use up to 50% recycled material in the composition of our ceramic curtain range. Furthermore, we are committed to eliminating waste and reducing pollution from the initial design stage onwards. Curtain is a ceramic system designed to be easily disassembled, thereby facilitating the separation of its components at the end of its useful life. In line with our firm commitment to the environment, Exagres also acts as a collection point for old ceramic Curtain pieces so they can be given a new lease of life.
Exadeck Collection
Our exclusive Exadeck ceramic decking line represents a completely sustainable product that successfully captures the essence of natural wood using ceramic materials. Furthermore, we optimise the firing and manufacturing process for our pieces by incorporating recycled waste ceramic instead of virgin raw materials. This leads to a series of significant benefits for the environment.
exa|TECH| Collection
The line of ventilated façades from Exagres not only seeks to make façades more attractive but also to boost energy efficiency by improving building insulation. The porcelain panels have been especially designed for exa|TECH|, contributing to thermal regulation. This leads to a noticeable saving on energy bills and the creation of more eco-friendly and sustainable buildings.
Sustainability in Construction: Beyond the Materials
Although choosing the right materials is crucial in sustainable construction, it is not the only factor to consider. Efficient building design, proper waste management and the incorporation of technologies that can reduce energy consumption are other essential factors to bear in mind. Sustainable construction aims to maximise efficiency at every stage of a project; from planning to operation of the building.
Exagres has therefore made a firm commitment to sustainability by developing eco-sustainable collections that not only offer outstanding beauty and quality but also have a positive impact on the environment. With Exagres, sustainable construction becomes a reality that protects our planet and promotes a greener, healthier future for all.
