With increasing pollution levels and poor air quality becoming a growing problem in Australia, the health of our homes and work environments should be taken into consideration now more than ever. Poor highway infrastructure can put suburbs at high risk of pollution exposure, and severe bushfires decreased air quality significantly in urban areas last summer.
How can we protect homes from smoke, dust, pollutants, and particles, reducing unseen risks?
Quad-Lock airtight filtration system makes this possible for all homes and buildings.
When a door or window is opened, the air pressure inside the building keeps outside air outside. This system is used in hospitals to prevent air from moving between sections.
Future-oriented homes will possess air filtration systems, with air-conditioning units which maintain air pressure inside the home, and filtration units to process the air and keep it clean. Building with ICF Quad-Lock will set high standards of liveability and create the ultimate home with air filtration and virus defence.
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) is the most effective thermal insulation because of its inert properties – EPS has no nutritional value for plants, animals or micro-organisms. It will not rot and is highly resistant to mildew. EPS will not decompose, or decay and its R-Value will not decrease with age. Unlike batt insulation, there is no sagging or settling. EPS offers the lowest cost per unit of R-Value compared to any other insulation material. No additional framing is necessary, so thermal bridging is minimal.
EPS is suitable for building from scratch, but it can also be used to E-retro existing homes or buildings with polystyrene. E-Retro will have an effect in any high-density region, or even low-density locations that exposed to air pollution, such as near highways.
