In short, affordable housing in newly built houses like a lot. However, it requires careful attention to yourself, careful selection by new customers. Including, it is worthwhile to treat the environmental safety of each facility. By what parameters should it be determined?

Material of construction

The most safe until recently was considered brick. But today from small bricks practically nothing is built. And if they build, then the brick no longer has a natural composition, it is silicate. Accordingly, its environmental friendliness is low.

A modern replacement for the classic clay baked bricks is foam concrete. Responsible manufacturers use natural materials to fill it, therefore foam concrete is obtained very warm, high-quality. It replaces several brick rows.

Facade insulation material

The best option is mineral wool. It is considered a completely natural material. Mineral wool requires periodic replacement, if the house is located in high humidity conditions, but its indisputable advantage is the incombustibility, the absence of harmful artificial substances.

The most poor-quality composition in terms of environmental friendliness is polyurethane. It will resemble ceiling tiles in its structure, as well as the famous polystyrene, which is put into boxes with something fragile. In addition to its artificial composition, the material was blamed for the fact that during combustion, phosgene is released - one of the most poisonous substances for humans.

External factors

Do not forget that in the non-ecological character of some new apartments, tenants and external factors are to blame. The first use substandard finishing materials, trying to save on repairs, and the latter may include industrial enterprises, overloaded motor roads. All of them have their own effect on comfort.
