St. Johann: Thermo-Span company is awarded the environmental award for sustainable construction

In the district capital of St. Johann, the company Thermo-Span, which has been working in sustainable construction for almost 50 years, recently received high recognition. The company was awarded the environmental award of the district capital, which underlines the importance of its innovative products and environmental protection measures.

As early as the 1970s, Thermo-Span set new standards with the development of a wood concrete stone. Christoph Quehenberger, a representative of the company, explains that it was a central concern of the company from the start to produce resource -saving and thus leave the lowest possible ecological footprint. The company has shaped this philosophy over the years and has now given them special recognition.

advantages of the wood concrete stone

In recent years, the company has continuously worked on improving its wood concrete stone. The latest product developments have now been rewarded with an award. Quehenberger emphasizes that the products are not only durable, but also offer many practical advantages. For example, houses that are equipped with wood concrete have less to struggle with algae problems on the outer facade, which is often the case with other building materials. These advantageous properties result from the breathing capacity and the temperature storage capacity of the material, which is able to keep the heat over a longer period of time and to emit evenly, which leads to a balanced indoor climate. Wood concrete is also fire -resistant.

effective noise protection

Another area in which Thermo-Span works affects noise protection. The company produces special "wood concrete absorbers" that are used along busy motorways. The wood -concrete stone, which consists of a mixture of wood, cement and water, has proven to be effective in noise protection. Quehenberger explains that your lightweight energy saving stone can be filled with concrete, which results in a high wall weight and an excellent load capacity. This also results in excellent soundproofing even with low wall thicknesses. These properties are of great importance both in residential construction and in the form of noise protection walls.

The award with the environmental prize not only reflects the company's technical skills, but also the engagement of Thermo-Span for a sustainable construction, which is both environmentally friendly and practical. These successes illustrate the importance of regional companies in the development of innovative and sustainable solutions in construction.
