Hebel: the “Hidden Gem”

03-05-2023

Hebel could be described as a “hidden gem” in home construction. It is a strong, high performance building product made from Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC). This lightweight masonry material is made by replicating a natural mineral – combining several readily available natural ingredients such as sand, cement, lime and gypsum. It has become a popular choice amongst home buyers due to its modern and stylish look, while also providing strength and durability. The versatility of Hebel means it can be rendered in a variety of forms and colours so whether you’re trying to achieve a classic look or something more modern, Hebel is a perfect choice.

Today we’ll focus on the benefits of Hebel from a consumer and sustainability standpoint to help you learn more about this product which is quickly gaining popularity.

Sustainability: At Arden, we’re proud to create award-winning, energy-efficient designs that are beautiful and improve how you live. Every Arden Home we build is all-electric, solar powered and 100% carbon neutral. Hebel is a product that aligns with our core values as it’s an eco-friendly building material.

Manufactured in Australia from readily available natural materials such as sand, cement, and lime, make it an excellent choice for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint while supporting the Australian manufacturing industry. Additionally, Hebel is made using a low-energy, low-emission process, which is better for our environment. Waste generated in the manufacturing process is recycled, and at the end of its useful life, the Hebel used to construct a home can be recycled, reducing landfill waste and helping to conserve natural resources.

Energy efficiency: One of the most significant benefits is Hebel’s energy efficiency. Hebel has a high thermal insulation value, which means it can keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, helping to reduce your energy bills and making your home more comfortable all year round.

Noise reduction: Another great benefit of Hebel is its acoustic properties. Living in a noisy area can be a real headache (literally!), and Hebel can significantly reduce noise levels from outside, helping you create and maintain a peaceful and quiet environment inside your home. Because of these properties, Hebel is an excellent choice if you are sensitive to noise or building in a busy location.

Safety elements: Safety is crucial when building your family’s dream home, and Hebel is highly fire-resistant and non-toxic, making it a safe building material. Unfortunately, bushfires are part of Australian life. If you are building near bushland or a bushfire zone, Hebel is an excellent choice as its fire properties meet or exceed all six BAL (Bushfire Attack Level) categories. You can have peace of mind knowing Hebel is a non-toxic building material that does not emit harmful gases or particles into the air, creating a healthier indoor environment for you and your family.

Design versatility: Design-wise, Hebel is significantly lighter than traditional building materials, allowing it to be easily cut to accommodate a range of design elements without compromising structural integrity. When it comes to finishes, the choice is yours as Hebel PowerPanel’s can be coated to have a sleek, polished modern finish, or if you want a more organic feel, the finish can be rough and textured. The Hebel range constantly evolves to follow the latest contemporary home design trends.

Durability: One of the most significant benefits of Hebel is its durability. Hebel is a low-maintenance building material that can last for decades without needing repairs or replacements, which is excellent for your wallet and the environment. The material gives the sleek and sophisticated look of rendered brickwork without the potential maintenance. The acrylic-based coating system is flexible, allowing for natural building movement, while the anti-corrosion steel reinforcement provides extra strength and a barrier against termites.

Overall, Hebel is an excellent building material with many benefits for consumers and the environment. It’s an aesthetically beautiful product that is also energy-efficient, durable, low-maintenance, eco-friendly, and non-toxic, making it an ideal choice for those looking to build a sustainable and comfortable home.
