What is it, actually, that makes Mukura’s breezeblocks environmentally friendly? Here are the reasons why Mukura’s granite breezeblock is one of the most environmentally friendly building materials that should be your best choice.

1. Saves electricity

Did you know that the process of providing electricity produces a lot of pollution, especially in the form of carbon dioxide? That’s right. Power plants, especially coal-fired power plants, produce a lot of CO2. CO2 is a greenhouse gas that exacerbates ozone depletion and global warming. Because, PLTU uses coal or oil as fuel to produce electrical energy.

Minimize electricity and air conditioning usage with breezeblock

By using breezeblock, one of the many benefits is that you can save on electricity usage. How? The use of breezeblock as walls or partitions helps to improve air circulation. So, you can use a breezeblock wall to separate two rooms. Then, with just one AC, you can cool both of them. What’s more, you don’t need to turn on the air conditioner during the day. Because, fresh air from the outside can enter through the breezeblock holes.

2. Easy care

Let’s look at the maintenance process of other breezeblock types, such as concrete and brick. These types have larger pores than granite breezeblock. So, they can be porous due to moss and fungi. Therefore, they need maintenance at least once a year, by spraying water or chemicals to coat them. Of course, this process is very water-intensive. In addition, using maintenance services means incurring extra costs and increasing carbon dioxide emissions in general.

A damp cloth is enough to clean the environmentally friendly material granite breezeblock

On the other hand, granite breezeblock does not require extra maintenance. Because, it has a layer of glazing made of a mixture which consists of glass. So, the surface isn’t porous, and shiny. This layer protects the roster from mold and mildew. In fact, it is also hard for viruses and bacteria to grow on the surface. So, it is very easy to clean. Simply wipe with a damp cloth, the breezeblock is clean again. Convenient, right?

3. Environmentally friendly production and distribution process

Aside from the things mentioned above, Mukura’s breezeblock also has an environmentally friendly production process. The materials used have gone through various tests so they are definitely environmentally friendly. One of them is by flowing water through the breezeblock into a fish pond. If the water is proven safe for fish, the product will be qualified for distribution. In addition, the packaging uses recycled materials. Very environmentally friendly material, right?
