More about timber construction
Pure nature is the motto of timber construction. Despite the good insulating properties of the raw material itself, this is often not enough to fulfil energy efficiency, technical suitability and living comfort requirements. It is therefore not a question of whether thermal insulation is necessary in timber construction, but rather which materials best support the fulfilment of these requirements.
Bonding, sealing, filling - assembly foam, also better known as PU foam, is almost indispensable as an all-rounder in the construction industry. Nevertheless, construction foam is often heavily and justifiably criticised due to its harmful ingredients. But what ecological alternatives are there?
Headaches, burning eyes, irritated airways - all of these can have something to do with indoor air quality. Factors such as humidity, temperature and regular ventilation are responsible for its quality. What can you look out for before, during and after construction to ensure good indoor air quality?
