According to statistics from the World Green Building Council, the construction industry currently contributes nearly 39% of global CO₂ emissions, placing substantial pressure on the environment. In response, the trend of developing modern buildings using environmentally friendly materials has become essential for reducing adverse climate impacts and promoting sustainable development.
Hiep Thuy C&D takes pride in being a pioneering green materials supplier in Vietnam, consistently researching and providing high-quality green material solutions that contribute to building sustainable, safe, and environmentally friendly structures.
Common Types of Green Materials on the Market
To meet the demand for green construction, various sustainable materials are widely applied, including:
- Non-fired Bricks: These bricks have excellent load-bearing capacity, effective sound and thermal insulation, and are non-polluting due to the production process that does not involve high-temperature firing.
- Vibrated Concrete Curb Stones: This material offers high durability and is particularly suitable for transportation and public infrastructure projects with low maintenance requirements.
- Interlocking Pavers: These pavers have self-draining capabilities and do not require adhesive mortar, making them ideal for outdoor areas and helping to minimize flooding.
Additionally, alternative materials such as wood-effect tiles and stone-effect tiles are optimal choices to limit the exploitation of natural resources and enhance the sustainability of construction projects.
20mm Thick Tiles: An Effective Alternative to Natural Granite
Natural granite is favored in construction for its luxurious appearance and durability; however, it also has several significant drawbacks. One of the most common issues when using natural stone is the growth of moss and mold, especially in humid weather conditions like those in Vietnam.
Additionally, cleaning and maintaining natural stone can be challenging, as its surface can easily become stained and difficult to clean. Moreover, the extraction process of natural stone poses serious environmental impacts, depleting precious resources.
To address these issues, Hiep Thuy C&D has introduced a line of 20mm thick tiles designed to perfectly replace natural stone. With their thickness and sturdy structure, these tiles not only maintain the aesthetic appeal similar to natural granite but also excel in durability, mold resistance, and ease of cleaning and maintenance. Furthermore, using 20mm thick tiles helps reduce the demand for natural stone extraction, contributing to the protection of the environment and natural resources.
