THE BENEFITS OF THE EKORU SYSTEM

ARE YOU WONDERING ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BUILDING A HOUSE WITH THE TRADITIONAL CONSTRUCTION SITE METHOD AND OUR PROCESS?

THERE ARE TWO MAIN DIFFERENCES: CONSTRUCTION TIMES AND THE PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPLETED BUILDING.

The first difference can be seen in the timing of the real estate project: at Ekoru we substantially reduce timescales, as we eliminate construction site issues by moving all the most demanding and delicate operations to the factory, using specially designed machinery and under the careful supervision of experts.

In addition, the materials and tools we use in our factory cannot be used in traditional on-site construction, so the innovative Ekoru construction method allows us to create buildings with superior specifications, in particular with regard to earthquake resistance.

THE VALUES OF THE EKORU SYSTEM

Clearly defined times and costs

Whatever is established during the design phase will not undergo changes linked to the variability of the construction site. This is thanks to industrialisation and to process planning that benefits from efficient and highly technological machinery, with an outstanding robotic component. This enhances the craftsmanship of construction and provides building components that only need to be assembled when they reach the site. In addition to the times, the final costs will also be faithful to those budgeted.

Energy efficiency of materials

Healthy, ecological mineral materials that ensure a high degree of thermal insulation, and therefore efficiency and energy savings. The mineral structure that forms the walls contains small air bubbles, which is the best thermal insulator, as well as being an absolutely healthy and ecological element. This structure also guarantees efficiency in maintaining the highest level of internal hygrometric comfort, thanks to its breathability. Even the wooden load-bearing structures offer reliable performance in terms of insulation, avoiding the danger of thermal bridges. In addition, the foundations can be insulated with ecological materials that are extremely durable and prevent moisture from rising from the ground. All this with the guarantee of maximum fire resistance.

Eco-sustainability

The sustainability of the house during its lifetime is ensured by ecological materials and exceptionally low energy consumption. Ekoru sustainability, however, starts much earlier. It starts with the choice of natural raw materials and local suppliers, continues with an important level of internal integration, to avoid inefficient movement of materials, and is consolidated with production systems with no waste. In fact, at Ekoru there are no waste materials, everything is reprocessed and reintroduced into the production cycle. Even the energy used is recovered by systems that guarantee maximum efficiency and the least possible impact on the environment. Choosing Ekoru means building with awareness and respect.

Maximum customisation

We can ensure maximum freedom during the design phase: you can choose every detail of your dream home, in keeping with your style and your needs. Using state-of-the-art computer technologies, such as BIM, we can build every single part of the building just as it was planned, integrating different skills into the same project, such as architectural, structural and system planning.

THE 4 STAGES OF THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS

Our construction process uses the most advanced technology and starts with your project or idea.

Thanks to unique technologies, we can digitalise your project, break it down into modules and complete it within our factory, with robotic precision and craftsmanship.

The modules made off-site are assembled on site by specialised personnel, giving material shape and solidity to your project.

Once the structure of the house is finished, the systems, finishes and furnishings you have chosen will make it truly yours.

THE BENEFITS OF THE EKORU SYSTEM

The combination of a unique construction system, which guarantees the structure has an unparalleled degree of solidity, and innovative walls that elevate internal comfort, guarantee unprecedented safety and well-being.

SAVINGS

The insulating abilities of our walls make it possible to maintain an optimal indoor climate with exceptionally low energy consumption. In addition, the insulating performance of Ekoru walls is excellent in all seasons and climates, thanks to the combined action of low thermal conductivity and high values of thermal inertia and phase shift.

ECOLOGY

The material with which our walls are made is a mineral stone made by industrially accelerating a geological process. Identical to natural Tobermorite, it is environmentally friendly, sustainable and even recyclable. Sustainability is certified by LCA and EPD issued by bodies recognised at European level.

BREATHABILITY

Humidity is a key factor in determining indoor comfort. Ekoru walls are breathable, allowing the absorption and disposal of excess internal humidity. This ability makes it possible to maintain an elevated level of comfort and avoid accumulations of moisture that could encourage condensation and mould.

STRUCTURAL BEARING CAPACITY

The Ekoru integrated technology walls are equipped with a sturdy load-bearing laminated wood frame, a shock-absorbing layer and a load-sharing mineral wall. This unique structure, tested in specialised laboratories, has shown extraordinary resistance thanks to its ductility and force absorption capabilities.

HEALTH

No harmful substances should pollute the air we breathe inside our homes, let alone substances emitted by the actual materials used to build them. To give this guarantee, following tests conducted at independent laboratories, we were able to verify and certify the healthiness of the material that constitutes walls and interior finishes.

FIRE RESISTANCE

The material that makes up the Ekoru walls is also used to make fire walls, this is because it is totally non-flammable and guarantees extraordinary safety in the event of fire. In fact, this material is ranked in class A1, the best class of reaction to fire in existence.

SOUNDPROOFING

What is more, from the point of view of acoustic comfort, our walls offer excellent soundproofing, effectively reducing noise and ensuring peaceful environments.
