Breathable
When you let your house breathe, that is, create the natural conditions for its breathable structures, your house will be healthy for a long time. Finnish examples of this are the warm log buildings and wooden buildings that have lasted for hundreds of years. Ekovilla insulation lets the structures breathe.
In winter the breathable Ekovilla keeps the indoor air humidity at a pleasant level
In summer the breathability keeps excessive humidity outside
Why is breathable good?
A breathable structure is good for health and the life in a breathable house is properly oxygenated. A well-made breathable structure is airtight – it does not allow extra air to pass through the structure into the rooms. A breathable house improves the indoor air by affecting its key factor: indoor air humidity, which in turn has a significant effect on the following:
- Comfortable temperature and living conditions for the inhabitants
- Sensory detection of air quality (pleasant/unpleasant smells, freshness/staleness)
- Durability of materials
- Energy consumption
