According to research, some 70% to 90% of a normal day is spent indoors. With healthy living becoming ever more important to people, this issue of indoor air quality is a key issue. After all, allergies, asthmatic disorders, respiratory tract and skin diseases, as well as certain forms of cancer, are directly related to the air around us.
At FERMACELL, we take our responsibilities for the health of people seriously, which is why all of our products are absolutely safe from an environmental and health viewpoint. An extensive study carried out by the Fraunhofer Institute for building Physics showed that Xella products including FERMACELL do not constitute a fertile breeding ground for mould growth. This reinforces the fact that FERMACELL has for years been a leader in its class thanks to its test mark from the Institute for Building Biology Rosenheim.
An opinion survey showed that 90% of people would choose environmentally friendly building materials, as long as they are proven to have no health side effects. FERMACELL delivers on both counts.
