Sustainable Housing for a Greener Future: How Nudura is revolutionising the industry
Qualities that bridge the construction industry closer to the environmental targets stipulated by the UK Government and outlined in building regulations are important to the development of creating a greener and sustainable future. As governments and regulatory boards establish stricter environmental targets, the construction industry is evolving to meet these demands, particularly in social housing and housing association projects across the UK. Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) provide innovative ways to achieve this, and Nudura is at the heart of this with Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) technology.
Nudura's innovative systems provide a revolutionary approach to construction, emphasising on sustainability and providing a genuine solution for reducing the environmental impact in construction projects. The overall vision is for ICF to become a recognised and preferred alternative to traditional construction methods.
The Nudura XR35 product is designed with sustainability at its core, making it an ideal solution for housing associations and social housing projects. This innovative ICF system combines high-performance insulation with the strength of concrete, ensuring energy efficiency, durability, and resilience against the elements. The XR35 system provides superior thermal insulation, helping to create buildings that not only meet but exceed energy efficiency standards, contributing to Net Zero energy goals. Its easy-to-install, lightweight design also reduces labour time and waste on-site, offering a more sustainable construction process.
Nudura's building solutions prioritises sustainability with the potential to deliver Net Zero building. The construction process using Nudura Technology generates significantly less waste, supporting environmentally responsible building practices. The ICF system consists of two panels of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) insulation, connected by a web made from 100% recycled polypropylene.
By integrating these materials, Nudura ICF systems actively reduce construction waste and minimise the overall carbon footprint. The forms are precisely designed to fit construction needs, reducing onsite adjustments and excess materials that contribute to landfill waste.
Reduction of Waste and Emissions
Building with Nudura not only lowers waste and emissions but also ensures that all generated waste is 100% recyclable. To effectively reduce waste, the pre-cut system can be utilised on projects to provide a sustainable solution to reduce product wastage. The system processes house plans using specialised computer software to calculate the exact number of Nudura blocks required. A detailed overview maps out how much product needs cutting. By strategically cutting the blocks, this system ensures efficiency and environmental responsibility in construction projects.
Nudura’s commitment to sustainability and innovation plays a part into setting new standards for eco-friendly building solutions. With the development of ICF) technology, Nudura not only reduces waste and emissions but also enhances energy efficiency, aligning with global environmental targets. As the demand for sustainable housing grows, Nudura’s approach to Modern Methods of Construction offers a viable, long-term solution that supports a greener future.
