Choosing the Right Building Materials Helps Keep Interiors Cool in Summer Heat

Turkey's summer season becomes longer and hotter with each passing year. According to experts, extreme heat waves will be more frequent due to the effects of global climate change. This situation directly impacts urban living both in terms of comfort and cost. Türk Ytong emphasizes the importance of correct building material selection and effective thermal insulation to stay cool during summer heat and achieve energy savings.

When buildings are designed with the right materials during construction, it is possible to create spaces that remain cool in summer and warm in winter. In buildings using wall materials with high thermal insulation performance, heat transfer from outside decreases, making the interior environment cooler. As a result, the use of devices such as air conditioning and ventilators decreases. This way, with lower energy consumption and reduced carbon emissions, an environmentally friendly and budget-friendly approach is achieved.

Experts stress that attention should be paid to the temperature difference between interior and exterior spaces for health and comfort reasons. Temperatures lower than necessary both increase electricity bills and can increase health risks due to sudden temperature fluctuations. Each 1°C lower interior temperature increases cooling costs by approximately 5%. For this reason, solutions that stop heat at the wall from the start are both more economical and more environmentally friendly. Through its block structure and components, Ytong delays hot air from entering in summer, helping the space remain cool for a longer period.

Important not only for comfort, but also for health
Buildings constructed with the right building materials maintain interior humidity balance through their breathable structures, preventing mold and fungus formation. To stay cool during summer heat, not only air conditioning but also the right wall material and thermal insulation that keep heat out from the beginning play a major role. Living in buildings constructed with the right building materials is the most effective way to reduce energy bills without sacrificing comfort.

Conserving heat is as important as heating a home. For those living in buildings with walls made of materials such as Ytong Block that provide thermal insulation, this is easy to achieve. If you live in a building where the external facade walls are made of materials with insufficient thermal insulation, Ytong has a solution for this too. You can have thermal insulation application with Multipor, known as cladding. Multipor Thermal Insulation Board is a thermal insulation material that does not lose its thermal insulation properties and durability throughout the building's lifetime. The thermal properties of Multipor that keep heat out in hot weather and inside in cold weather are provided by the small pores filled with still air in its structure, just as in Ytong Block.

Because Multipor is mineral-based, it allows buildings to breathe, regulating interior humidity and preventing moisture and mold formation on walls. With Multipor Thermal Insulation Board, which has A1 class "Non-Flammable" properties, a fire-safe thermal insulation solution is provided.
