Are Eco Modular Buildings Long-Lasting?
Here at Vertis, we create durable eco buildings that will last. Our eco classrooms are sustainable modular buildings constructed from high quality, environmentally friendly materials. So if you’re looking for a sustainable classroom solution that will serve both current and future generations, a Vertis building could be the answer.
Sustainable Eco Classrooms
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do – meaning that we protect the environment while creating high-quality buildings designed to last decades. Throughout the modular construction process we take every opportunity to protect the environment, by minimising the need for transportation, using recycled materials wherever possible, and utilising the best, eco-friendly building materials to construct our modular classrooms.
Recycled Materials
Recycling helps to reduce waste and ensure that everything is used to its full potential. At Vertis some of our recycled components include:
- Roof cladding – this is always made from recycled material.
- Internal walls – our alternative to plasterboard is made from 100% recycled material.
- Aluminium – we use recycled aluminium in our window and door frames, which are made internally rather than bought in.
As well as utilising recycled materials for building, we also take responsibility by recycling our own surplus off-cuts and manufacturing waste.
SUSTAINABLE SOURCES
It’s important to us that an eco modular building is built from sustainable materials, sourced from suppliers that prioritise the environment. At Vertis we guarantee:
- FSC certified timber – All timber used in our eco school buildings is sourced from FSC certified suppliers.
- British cedar – Our eco classrooms are built using British cedar rather than the usual North American timber. It’s durable and doesn’t have to travel long distances.
Energy efficiency
A Vertis building is an energy efficient building. We make durable buildings that are air-tight and well insulated, so they will cost you less to heat.
- SIPS panels – Our eco classrooms are built using a Structured Insulated Panel System (SIPS) that ensures a high level of insulation.
- Energy efficient windows and doors – All our windows and doors are made with powder coated aluminium frames and energy efficient glazing as standard.
- Air tight structures – Proven to be air-tight, our buildings let in less air from the outside, making them warmer and less costly to heat.
- Our plasterboard alternative – Rather than plasterboard, we use a special material for our internal walls that provides superior insulation and improved fire-proofing, as well as being highly durable.
QUALITY GUARANTEED – FOR NOW AND THE FUTURE
Our company ethos is all about quality. We strive to source the best materials we can for our eco classrooms so that they will serve you for generations to come. A natural companion to quality is sustainability – ensuring that your modular school building is built with consideration for the world around it, with minimal impact on the environment. Finally, our commitment to energy efficiency ensures that your modular building will be economic to run – offering a comfortable environment all year round with lower heating costs.
