Features and Benefits
The long term environmental benefits of building with concrete are well known. The high thermal mass of concrete can be used to minimise the need for heating and cooling in structures and the strength and durability of concrete provides a flexible, low maintenance construction material.
Boral Envirocrete® incorporates recycled and waste raw materials enabling Boral to minimise the environmental impact of concrete during the manufacturing and construction phase. This makes Envirocrete® an even more attractive construction material over the long term.
