Baufritz building boom continues click here |
Natural materials
Baufritz uses non-chemically treated building materials, natural products and building methods that ensure good ventilation and protection from harmful electromagnetic radiation to provide a better quality of day to day living. Baufritz makes regular checks for radioactivity, formaldehyde, chemical wood preservation methods (use of PCP, Lindane) on all its building products and materials to ensure they are not present. The company exclusively uses pollutant-tested, high-quality and environmentally-friendly construction and insulation materials and components.
Over the years buildings have been constructed so as to increase thermal efficiency through improved air tightness. As a result there has been a marked increase of people suffering from 'Sick Building Syndrome' (SBS). Symptoms of individuals suffering as a result of SBS include: headache; eye, nose, or throat irritation; dry cough; dry or itchy skin; dizziness and nausea; difficulty in concentrating; fatigue; and sensitivity to odors. SBS is caused by a number of factors relating to the interior air quality of the building such as use of chemical contaminants found in building materials such as treated timber, lacquers, adhesives, polystyrene and mineral wool for example. In addition, inadequate ventilation also contributes to SBS.
