Bio Philosophy

Naturally breathable materials for health and living comfort

In GreenBuilding all enclosing and dividing structures, i.e. inside and outside walls and ceilings, are made from natural materials. So, the building breathes and the internal humidity in the air is captured by the high porosity of the skin (plaster/render+paint coats) covering it, and distributed through capillary action to the walls and the entire structure, allowing a fast and continuous interchange by evaporating outside.

Kerakoll’s BIO range opens up a whole new dimension: improving indoor air quality to reduce illnesses from Sick Building Syndrome

The idea is a refreshingly simple one: you don’t have to look any further than nature itself for the healthiest building materials, such as lime, pozzolan and natural coloured soils that can be used as a breathable skin protecting buildings while allowing them to breathe. Products in the BIO range are in fact naturally more porous than cement-based ones, making them to all intents and purposes a natural hygrometric lung for indoor environments that are more pleasant to live in, guaranteeing health and wellbeing for the body and soul.

Scientific studies show how Kerakoll BIO products promote improved mental and physical wellbeing and an overall better quality of life by creating walls that breathe and allow impurities to escape from internal spaces.
