Lately, we often find the term sustainable material. In fact, Mukura’s breezeblock has become one of the sustainable materials. Actually, what does that term mean? And why is Mukura’s ventilation block a sustainable material?

What does sustainable material mean?

Are we aware that every building material has an impact on the environment? Starting from the collection, processing, to distribution, every step has an impact. So, that’s why the term sustainable material appears. Sustainable materials, or sustainable materials, are materials that have less impact than others.

Then, what determines if a material is sustainable? First, the source of the material itself. Whether the source is far or not, because if it is far away, it will need transportation, which will definitely produce more pollution. Furthermore, what materials are needed during the process, such as water or certain chemicals. Then the process itself, how much energy is used and the waste produced. Lastly, the means of transportation and the distance. Don’t forget, the material’s durability is also an important consideration. Because, if it doesn’t last long, we’ll have to buy it again, so the impact will multiply.

Why Mukura’s breezeblock is sustainable?

1. Energy saving

The natural ventilation of the granite ceramic roster helps save electrical energy

Starting from its function, namely for ventilation and natural lighting. Air circulation in the house remains optimal naturally, and the house can be bright because of natural light from the sun. Thus, the breezeblock helps us save energy. No need to turn on air conditioning and lights during the day.

2. Water, weather, and acid resistance

Granite breezeblock is completed with a layer of glazing on the outside. This coating makes it strong against water. Then, it is also weather resistant, both against hot weather and rain water. In addition, this breezeblock is also more acid resistant than other types of breezeblock.

3. Durability

The material of the breezeblock is solid, so it’s stronger. If the installation is correct, it can last up to tens of years. So, there is no need to change again or to buy a new one because of some damage.

4. Cost-effective maintenance

Unlike other types such as concrete and clay, maintenance of granite breezeblock is easy and inexpensive. Just use a broom to sweep the dust off. If they stick, take a piece of cloth and dampen a bit, then wipe it clean. Moss are also unable to grow on this breezeblock, so it doesn’t need to be sprayed once a year like the other types.

5. Production process

Mukura uses environmentally friendly materials and processes to produce the breezeblocks

Compared to concrete, ceramic granite is more sustainable. Mukura uses gas, not coal or oil. So, the production process of granite breeze block does not produce air pollution. Lastly, the wastewateris also 100% treated so that it does not harm the environment.

6. Packaging made of recycled materials

The breezeblock packaging is made from recycled materials

Lastly, Mukura’s packaging uses recycled materials. Thus, Mukura takes part in reducing and not adding to the overall global waste.
