Eco-compatibilitY
WITH GEOPLASt SOLUTION GREEN CONSTRUCTION IS ALREADY ACHIEVABLE.
A Geoplast environmentally friendly
building begins from the foundations: MODULO, GEOBLOCK, MULTIMODULO,
MINIMODULO and NEW ELEVETOR allow the realization of ventilated
monolithic foundations to eliminate rising damp and Radon gas, which
naturally tend to rise from the ground and concentrate especially on
the lower floors of the buildings.
These two elements are both harmful, and the second can be even
deadly if inhaled for long periods. A monolithic foundations
guarantees structural strength eliminating the problem of
cracks. DEFENDER completely insulates the foundation walls to
create a dry and healthy environment.
All walls and columns in concrete can be built with GEOTUB,
GEOTUB PANEL and GEOPANEL systems, while slab are realized using
GEOSKY (for advanced dismantling), SKYRAIL (for one-way ribbed
slabs), SKYDOME (for leightweight waffle slabs) plastic
formworks, thus reducing the waste of wood in the construction
industry, which is intensifying deforestation. GEOPANEL ART is
the ideal system for the creation of textured reinforced
concrete walls.
As for the roof, DRAINROOF allows to
realize a roof garden, thus returning to the environment the green
that has been removed and at the same time getting a warmer attic in
winter and a cooler one in summer. However, living a healthy life
does not mean to stay inside, but enjoy accessible green areas.
Realizing drivable lawns and green parkings with SALVAVERDE, GEOFLOR
and RUNFLOOR GREEN it will be possible to walk and park freely on a
green area which, otherwise, would have been a delicate and
untouchable flowerbed or worse, a flast expanse of black asphalt.
What about vertical green? WALL-Y, our grid in HDPE, allows the
creation of beautiful green walls.
To accumulate and store rainwater underground storage and
drainage tanks can be realized with DRENING and NEW ELEVETOR TANK,
which eliminate stagnat sources of foul smells and mosquitos.
For entertainment and free time there are GRIPPER, the
multi-sport performance flooring, and PLASTONELLA, the excellent
draining tile for healthy relax. Finally, BIOMODULO is the
perfect product for the realization of air diffusion systems for
compostage and deodorization plants.
