For over 10 years, the YTONG construction system has been chosen by Romanian developers and used in reference projects in all areas of the country due to its properties and advantages. Xella continues to support its partners in the development of projects in which the quality of the built environment prevails, working with them to find the optimal solutions.
Thermal, acoustic, fire and earthquake performance and economy protection
Sustainable in terms of both production and use, Xella products contribute to the construction of sustainable, energy-efficient and high-quality buildings and, thus, to the protection of the environment and the conservation of resources.
Annually, over 5,000 families move into homes built with YTONG masonry solutions, whose quality is reflected in the comfort of living, in the short and long term benefits offered to tenants. Thermal, acoustic, fire and earthquake performance and economy protection are just a few of the long list of benefits that decisively influence the quality of homes and can be achieved by using YTONG masonry solutions.
In Romania, YTONG is the first masonry material certified as a solution for the construction of green homes by the Romanian Council for Green Buildings (RoGBC), being a 100% natural product. The construction systems offered by Xella represent a landmark in the construction materials industry and the solution chosen by the developers who aim to obtain energy-efficient projects, with an increased level of safety and comfort.
Xella invests consistently in the services and solutions offered to clients and business partners, and through the constructive solutions in its portfolio, it is a supporter and promoter of the improvement of the quality of the built space and of those who contribute to this change.
The advantages of a building built with YTONG masonry
Many of the components of an apartment, such as windows, central heating, parquet or doors, can be replaced over time with others of a higher category. The walls, however, remain unchanged, so the benefits of the masonry used must reflect this fact.
l The YTONG construction system, due to the energy performance that remains constant over time, contributes to the long-term maintenance of the value of the apartment and, in addition, offers adequate thermal insulation and thermal performance at affordable prices. For tenants, this means that they can get a reduced maintenance cost in both winter and summer, when they need to heat and cool their home.
The flatness and homogeneity of the YTONG masonry make a significant contribution to maintaining the stability of the walls. Depending on the chosen solutions and thicknesses, as well as the installation method, the YTONG construction system allows the absorption of noise, ensuring a superior sound insulation.
YTONG masonry walls retain their integrity and are not affected by contact with flames, do not emit smoke, gases or vapors. Moreover, a wall thickness of only 10 cm ensures a fire protection of 90 minutes. Another benefit of the structure and the mineral composition is the maintenance of the humidity in the rooms at constant values, thus preventing the appearance of condensation, the main cause of moisture and mold.
YTONG walls have a very high tear resistance and, depending on the anchoring mode, the masonry supports the suspension of heavy pieces of furniture.
