Eco-friendly building

Every day, in all professional and personal dealings, the Buffa company is prompted by its environmental conscience to safeguard those resources that belong not only to us, but more importantly to our children, who should inherit not merely the benefits of technological progress, but a Vital Space that has not been impoverished and placed in jeopardy.

Now more than ever, there is the need for a collective awareness of the fact that caring for the environment signifies looking after the health of the human race, and consequently of its psychological and physical well-being.

If we want to live in a society that genuinely embraces eco-sustainability, it is only right that we should start by ensuring that our home, our primary housing unit, is a healthy place to be.

Today, for a manufacturer of building materials like BUFFA, a commitment to environmental awareness is not a matter of choice, but quite simply a must, and non-negotiable.

The line that reflects the importance of this approach more than any other is BIO CALCITE, one of several flagship brands made by the company.

This includes a wide range of products formulated with pure Natural Hydraulic Lime — NHL 3.5 — responding to EN 459-1 standard.

These are products of especially high quality (scratch coats, plasters, skim coats, 'tonachino' plasters for indoor and outdoor use, including systems with materials designed specifically for damp-proofing walls, energy saving, coating and decorating facades, etc.), highly breathable and easy to apply, which are ideal for renovation projects, especially involving properties of special historical and architectural interest, in line with recommendations issued by Departments with responsibility for Cultural and Environmental Assets.

When building a house along eco-friendly lines, several factors must be taken into consideration: positioning, exposure, renewable sources of energy, light, comfort, etc.

The Bio Calcite line perfectly embodies this environmental approach.

The Bio Calcite range was developed principally to aid the rescue and renovation of historical and architectural buildings and monuments, but is no less effective for new building projects where the design specifically indicates the exclusive use of natural materials that are notably breathable and easy to apply.

With products of the Bio Calcite line, contractors can deliver projects using the same traditional methods of former times, and guaranteeing the same long term durability of the work.

Bio Calcite is a range of materials originating from the past, while in step also with the needs and skills of today, and the modern environment.
