BIO-ECOLOGICAL CERTIFICATION

Celenit has obtained Bio-Ecological certification for its Celenit N, Celenit NB, Celenit A, Celenit AB, Celenit R e Celenit RB products from three institutes:

• ANAB (Italian National Association for Bioecological Architecture)

• IBO (Österreichisches Institut für Baubiologie und Ökologie)

• IBN (Institut für Baubiologie Neubeuern).

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Celenit is made from natural products: wood, a natural product par excellence, and Portland cement, a mineral component of the same composition as rocks found in nature. Therefore, there is no risk of pollution, neither at the production nor implementation stage, nor at any subsequent re-cycling stage or during the disposal of any waste that can be reused or recycled. There is strong evidence to confirm these statements: the product does not contain harmful metals, does not develop harmful gases, is not radioactive and is not flammable. 

Celenit's physical characteristics, namely the ability to transpire, the absence of electrostatic charges, the ability to accumulate heat and the ability to regulate humidity, ensure optimum living conditions.

Celenit has an unlimited lifespan, as it is not subject to biological or chemical degradation. Indeed, its performance improves through a process of carbonation which occurs over time.

A HEALTHY HOME: WHEN? 

Bioecological Architecture has set out its prerequisites for a healthy home:

• TRANSPIRATION, in other words the ability to diffuse vapours renders the home "healthy" and prevents mould from forming. It further allows radiation and any toxic vapours to be expelled.

• MOISTURE ABSORBANCE, in other words the ability to absorb, and later release, the water vapours produced, thus guaranteeing comfortable living conditions.

• THE ABILITY TO ACCUMULATE HEAT, in other words the ability to absorb summer heat and accumulate winter heat, including that derived from solar energy.

• THE OPTIMUM INSULATION/HEAT ACCUMULATION RATIO, in other words the ability to find the right balance between an acceptable level of insulation and an acceptable level of heat accumulation, in order to guarantee a constant interior micro-climate and an appropriate level of energy efficiency.

• HIGH-LEVEL TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

• HIGH-LEVEL ACOUSTIC CHARACTERISTICS, both as a sound absorber and as a acoustic insulator

• EXCELLENT FIRE PROTECTION

• ABSENCE OF HARMFUL SUBSTANCES: there are as many as 250 substances which bio-architecture has identified as being negative! 

• ABSENCE OF RADIATION

• GOOD PROTECTION FROM NATURAL MAGNETIC FIELDS

• RESISTANCE TO HUMIDITY, WATER AND FREEZING TEMPERATURES

CELENIT SATISFIES ALL THESE PREREQUISITES

in addition to those which have made it known and appreciated up to now.

IT HAS, INDEED, BEEN DECLARED ECOBIOCOMPATIBLE
