With rising utility and bill costs, most homeowners are looking for insulation and renovation solutions that are a long-term investment. The climate is constantly changing, the winters being milder and the summers cooler, therefore renovating or arranging for energy efficiency becomes essential. BCA is a suitable material for energy efficient and sustainable constructions and layouts.
Here are other advantages:
Thermal insulation
The arrangements with BCA pallet offers integrated thermal protection, combined with fire protection and high sound insulation. Small, evenly distributed air gaps retain heat inside, which means preventing heat loss to the outside on the one hand, and storing heat inside the construction on the other. Thus BCA offers the best thermal insulation of all solid building materials. The uniform quality of the building material ensures consistent power quality. This aspect eases the energy budget and lowers the costs of additional insulation. That is why BCA constructions and certain types of mortar it falls into the category of passive houses.
Effective investment
Inefficient insulation is one of the reasons why more and more buildings need to be renovated. BCA is a material that offers a wide variety of applications. Whether it’s interior insulation, air ducts, basements or garages, the material is safe in terms of building health and has a long lifespan.
Saving electricity
By using BCA in renovation or design, energy costs are reduced in the summer, electricity with air conditioning or cooling installations. Sales of electric air conditioners increase every year during the hot summer months.
The impact on the environment
BCA has some environmental advantages that other building materials do not, in terms of longevity, insulation and structural requirements from a single material. Regarding the energy and material investment, materials that last a lifetime can be considered.
In the production process, the energy consumed and greenhouse gas emissions are much lower than concrete. In addition, the value it offers to insulation is much higher than that of BCA, reducing consumption for heating and cooling. And construction debris can be returned to the manufacturer for recycling or sent as concrete waste for reuse. Or they can be used to make garden walls or other landscape elements.
Using BCA in different sizes or as panels, they can be positioned according to height, floor or reinforced differently. There are variants of use in the form of panels for the floor or roof. Since its appearance more than 100 years ago, the BCA has approached building materials differently. Nowadays it is still considered a popular and sustainable material. We have mentioned only a few of its advantages, which are worth considering for your project.
