SAFEGUARDING MAN AND THE ENVIRONMENT

ECO-FRIENDLY MATERIALS FOR THE USER AND THE ENVIRONMENT

KOURASANIT creates resilient, great looking materials with impressive natural properties. Since 1978 we have been building the company firm in the belief that the quality of our environment affects our quality of life.

Modern architecture and interior design seeks to minimise the negative environmental impacts of buildings by making them more efficient and being more sparing when it comes to the use of materials, energy and surface areas.

KOURASANIT has dynamically responded to this trend. Our commitment to the environment lies at the very core of our business. Our production line’s environmental focus clearly reflects our concern with reducing our environmental footprint.

The natural aggregates that are used are extracted from certain areas designated by the state based on specific environmental criteria.

Some of the basic raw materials used for the KOURASANIT products are recycled materials such as ceramic powder and pulverised glass.

Production is limited to a made-to-order basis. Quantities are accurately assessed thereby ensuring  that energy waste and use of natural resources are minimised.

Thepackaging used for KOURASANIT products is 100% recyclable and the pallets we use to transport our products are made from recycled materials.

KOURASANIT's products are the perfect choice for a healthy environment both because they reduce users’ exposure to harmful substances and because of air permeability.

KOURASANIT’s products are compatible with all the thermal cladding insulation systems (which improve a building’s energy rating) and do not negatively influence the thermal conductivity or masonry.
