Xella Italia Ytong Climagold

Ytong's more than 80 years of experience in the production of Cellular concrete elements has enabled the development of the Ytong Climagold infill block.‎ With only 300 kg/m³ nominal density and a dry thermal conductivity of 0.‎072 W/mK, the Climagold block is able to guarantee exceptional performance for a single-layer wall.‎ The unbeatable lightness of the block despite its high thickness allows for simple, fast and economical installation, while guaranteeing excellent thermal inertia and acoustic insulation performance.‎ Properties of Climagold block: - Nominal density 300 kg/m³ - Available thicknesses 36, 40, 45 and 48 cm - Thermal transmittance of 0.‎19, 0.‎17, 0.‎16, and 0.‎15 W/m²K - Eco-sustainable and biocompatible mineral material - High thermal inertia - Easy and quick to install - Non-combustible (fire reaction class A1) More than 100 years ago, in 1923, architect and researcher Dr.‎ Axel Eriksson invented "vapor-vulcanized gas concrete" in Sweden - now known as autoclaved aerated concrete.‎ Together with Carl August Carlén, an entrepreneur, they started the first production in 1929 in Yxhult, southern Sweden, at a time of great scarcity of raw materials and stricter energy laws.‎ A competitive advantage on the market The sustainability of buildings is increasingly at the center of construction trends, with modern sustainability policies undertaken by international institutions and organizations that have favored the increase of this trend.‎ The choice of materials and construction technologies are fundamental to obtaining homes that consume less and consequently have a lower environmental impact.‎ A sustainable home can cost on average 8% more than a normal home, but this difference is compensated by numerous advantages in the long term: a healthier and more comfortable environment, significant economic savings compared to bills and a higher value of the building; It is estimated, in fact, that the value of a green property can increase from 2 to 10% with sales times halved from 8 to 4 months.‎
