Innovative materials will create stronger, more environmentally friendly buildings
Traditional building materials such as lumber, brick and steel have been used for decades – if not millennia – to construct residential homes and commercial buildings. The trouble is, producing these materials relies on several environmental factors that affect availability and costs. With that in mind, several innovative companies are experimenting with revolutionary solutions for building better, stronger, more environmentally friendly structures.
In a recent blog post, BigRentz, an online construction equipment rental marketplace, put together a pretty comprehensive list of some exciting new products on the horizon. Products like self-healing concrete that lasts more than 200 years, 3D printed carbon that’s stronger than steel, or pollution- absorbing brick could change the way offices, homes, manufacturing facilities and more are constructed in the future. The infographic below offers BigRentz’s full list of pretty unique materials, some new building materials you’ll wish were available now!
These new building materials offer exciting new possibilities in commercial and home construction. In fact, some of the new ideas would come in quite handy right now during this period of unprecedented high demand and materials shortages. However, you can rest assured that Scholl Construction remains on the leading edge of building techniques and is committed to sourcing the right materials to deliver the quality construction you desire in your new home or commercial building.
