The days of PUR (polyurethane) and EPS (expanded polystyrene) are long gone. Today's builders are looking for effective solutions that respect both people and the environment. Why not shells? They drain and insulate, and offer original technical solutions for structural work (drainage, ventilated voids, cellars, etc.) in new-build and renovation projects.

Shells from Zeeland, North Sea
The shells are an abundant and well controlled resource
The shells can be recuperated after use
No binder is added to the shells
Shells provide a healthy, moisture-free interior thanks to their ability to drain and prevent capillary action.
The shells do not undergo transformation other than being washed
This biobased solution gives a function to the collected shells from canal digging and does not alter the natural marine balance.
Shells
-
In the ground, shells have the dual function of thermal insulation and drainage.
-
Shells keep ventilated voids dry. They ensure that water can drain away and moisture from the air is absorbed.
-
Shell drainage around buildings prevents flooding in the most effective way. It is a durable, affordable and low-maintenance solution.
-
Shells are also ideal for use in infiltration basins. They are the most durable way of quickly draining excess rainwater.
