BAUFRITZ - Der Ökohaus-Pionier seit 1896

 

Health

 
 

Healthy living starts at home. Baufritz believes that a house should offer its occupants more than just a “roof over their heads”; it should protect them from external influences which may adversely affect their wellbeing and actively promote good health.Our work with building biologists and environmental specialists has ensured Baufritz houses provide the healthiest possible environment- particularly for allergy sufferers.

The Baufritz health difference can be summarised as:
 

  • Natural materials with no wood preservatives
  • Permanent pollutant monitoring
  • Indoor air quality analyses
  • Protection of all buildings from electrosmog
  • Extensive R&D working in conjunction with building biologists
  • Healthy product recommendations
  • Material recycling

Natural materials
Your home will be built with only natural, beautiful, pollutant free wood. Timber is not treated with hazardous chemicals such as toxic adhesives, waxes or lacquers and this has a direct impact on air quality and your wellbeing.

Air quality
The choice of insulation material very much determines the air quality in a building. Baufritz has developed over the last fifteen years its own patented insulation material, made from wood shavings treated with only natural whey and soda to make them fire, fungus and pesticide resistant. Using only the natural and avoiding artificial fibres, ensures that in a Baufritz house your every breath is one of fresh, good air.

Good ventilation is also essential. Baufritz’s natural walls are able to breathe and thus extract condensation quicker than it is created. Maintaining the right moisture levels guarantees the right air quality inside the house and since dust mites cannot survive below 55% humidity, this can help people who are allergic to dust. 
 

Protection from electrosmog
Electrosmog is invisible but potentially harmful pollution, generated by the many electrical and magnetic fields what surround us every day, everything from electrical appliances and mobile masts to power lines. 


As part of our ongoing commitment to the wellbeing of our customers, we have developed a revolutionary technology, XUND- E, which has been shown to reduce electrosmog in the home by up to 99%. Built into every home, the XUND - E boards guarantee protection for you and your family from electrosmog, particularly critical if your plot is close to a mobile mast or overhead power lines.
