The new generation concrete

 

Living in earthquake territory, a quality concrete foundation is a must.  The process must be precise, with footing and reinforcing rods that will  withstand weight and weathering over the years, as well as carefully  placed wire mesh to protect the concrete from cracks. In many locations,  a proper drainage system must be placed underneath the foundation. The  importance of all these elements makes hiring an experienced,  professional contractor vital to the long-term health of your house. Home additions, patios, and other exterior installations also require  concrete work with special consideration and care. Hilly areas and the  occasional California earthquake can all add up to structural damage  over the yeas if the foundation is not accurately designed and  installed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

For decades, dedicated experts from the fields of production, technology, research and development have been working non-stop to improve the Ytong block and its thermal conductivity. Now, they have made a major breakthrough: The innovative new Ytong Energy+, a block that redefines energy-efficient building with a low Lambda value, thanks to its ingenious sandwich-like construction. The new block first hit the market in Denmark in 2011 to the delight of local architects, planners, and builders. Ytong Energy+ is a sustainable, environmentally friendly product: From production to shipment and disposal, Ytong Energy+ is part of a closed cycle. We manufacture the block using mineral raw materials, reuse all waste, circulate dust and condensation back into the production process, and convert production waste into granulate for use, for instance, as an oil binding agent or leveling compound. If properly separated following building demolition, Ytong building materials are 100 percent recyclable. Cradle to Cradle Certified.Due to its outstanding sustainability, Ytong Energy+ received the coveted Cradle to Cradle certificate from the Environmental Protection Encouragement Agency (EPEA) GmbH in August 2011. Cradle to Cradle products are the opposite of “cradle to grave” products, which completely lose their value by the end of their life cycle. Starting in production, Cradle to Cradle products produce no waste when they are manufactured and – like nature itself – never become waste. Their value remains intact, no matter where they are in the life cycle. Into the Future with Ytong. We plan on remaining a pioneer in energy efficiency, ecology, and sustainability well into the future. Ytong has always been better than statutory regulations and will always be better thanks to extensive research and development!
