environment

Building and construction activity has a major impact on the natural environment and is a significant contributor to the nation’s landfill. Architects, construction companies and building owners can limit the environmental load by efficient design and the careful selection of materials that are low in embodied energy, durable and can be repaired and recycled locally.
At Asona we can help.

Danoline™ perforated plasterboard

Gypsum is non mineral fibre based acoustic ceiling solution for a healthy comfortable indoor environment. A natural product that offers a large number of advantages when used as a building material. Gypsum is easily machined, non combustible and contains no hazardous substances, and the manufacture of gypsum boards has only minimal impact on the environment. The residual waste from production can be recycled to produce new boards.

Plasterboard panels are relatively low embodied energy vs. other building materials (concrete, metal etc) & Danoline Plasterboard panels are made from a blend of natural gypsum & synthetic gypsum- obtained from recycled post industrial material.

Danoline perforated panels are clean and have low particle drop when installing, rated for clean air cert in EU.

During fitting and processing no hazardous substances are released, and ready-painted Danoline gypsum products are easy to maintain. As well as being environmentally sound, gypsum is a durable material with a long lifetime.

Renovate and Recycle
We offer our clients the service to renovate and recycle old, soiled or lightly damaged panels with new decorative and acoustic laminates (on site or at the factory) , thereby extending their service life instead of consigning them to landfill or the cost of total replacement.

The objective is to extend product life cycle, lower maintenance costs, reduce wastage to land fill and to lower the environmental impact of acoustical finishes.
