“We care deeply about all aspects of our wool products to ensure they exceed the requirements of today’s sustainable construction demands” – James Gallagher, Co-owner.
Asthma and respiratory diseases are two of the leading causes of sickness and death in New Zealand. Health Based Building’s demonstration home showcases the benefits of improving indoor air quality for better respiratory health.
Health Based Building’s ‘Foreverbreathe’ system focuses on high performance and the health of the building. The system utilises the natural hygroscopic performance benefits of Terra Lana wool insulation. This is a critical component and helps ensure a warm, dry, comfortable living environment.
Businesses who construct, supply, or specify building materials must consider sustainable materials, to ensure a healthy building and a low environmental impact now and for future generations.
“The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten” – Benjamin Franklin.
