ShareLightening the load: How lightweight materials can change the construction industry
Construction costs are rising across the country. Despite this, the industry is under increasing pressure to deliver structures that are not only compliant with increasingly stringent building standards but also sustainable and environmentally friendly. The pressure to balance these factors has led to a growing interest in lightweight materials and construction methods.
As we face rising construction costs, the need for strong yet lightweight materials is growing. Traditional heavy building materials, such as steel and concrete, are energy-intensive to produce, heavy to move, and provide logistical and environmental challenges. In comparison, the latest generation of lightweight materials offers solutions that lower construction time and cost without compromising performance, functionality or design versatility.
Lightening the load: How lightweight materials can change the construction industry examines how the use of lightweight materials can enhance project efficiency and sustainability, presenting a case for their broader adoption. By utilising these materials, architects can address some of the challenges faced by today’s design and construction practitioners.
Raw Inkk, specialists in printed building materials, takes balsa’s lightweight and sustainability characteristics and creates innovative solutions designed to meet the demands of today’s architectural landscape. The company’s printed beams are not limited to shape, size, or colour and can be custom-made to suit your next project.
