Ahmedabad Real Estate market is surging and reforming towards its betterment. The demand for sustainable, energy-efficient, green energy-based structures with a futuristic approach is high in demand. Innovations in the shape and design of cavity walls are the popular structural trend these days.

The reason for the demand is Ahmedabad’s climate and growing population. Heat-insulating glass and walls reduce heat transfer and support energy efficiency. D and C Developers also initiated their design in adopting green building elements like cavity walls, louvres, facade, and using DGU glass in their projects. All these seem small steps, but they are contributing towards energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.

What Is A Cavity Wall?

A cavity wall is an outer wall built for insulation and acts as a barrier to heat and wind. It’s a two-layer wall built with a cavity (air space) within, that can be filled with insulation materials. Insulation and proper ventilation improve energy efficiency and durability. Cavity wall is also a type of facade that is used to control natural airflow, and it also acts as a decorative exterior of the building. Our Project, like Majestic, a premium office and retail building and Unico, a 3 BHK luxurious apartment, is designed with cavity walls.

Why Is Ahmedabad Real Estate Adopting Cavity Walls?

Ahmedabad is known for its hot and semi-arid climate. Thus, a layer of protection from heat and wind is needed. And, cavity walls will act as a protective layer for the building. These two-layer walls are filled with insulated material and are capable of lowering the inside temperature by 2-3 degrees. 

It also acts as a protective layer for the inner walls. It prevents rainwater and dampness from reaching the inner walls. Cavity walls also have weep holes, which allow water to seep out and provide proper air ventilation, prolonging the life of the walls and structure. While performing the task of insulation and being beneficial to the structure, it also helps us with controlled entry of air and sunlight inside the building, benefiting health.

Cavity walls can be constructed in the roof, door opening, window opening and the parapet wall. It increases the energy efficiency of both residential and commercial buildings.

Benefits of Cavity Wall

Ahmedabad needs cavity walls because in a hot, populated city, sound insulation and heat insulation are now becoming a necessity. This city, known for its architecture, is upgrading, and cavity walls will also add an aesthetic look to the building. The initial cost of the cavity may be high, but it is beneficial in the long term, so it becomes cost-effective.

  •  Resistance

Cavity wall acts as a shield against water seepage, direct sunlight and wind, thus increasing the overall life of the building.

  • Insulation

Cavity walls, when insulated with fibreglass or mineral wool, provide insulation against heat and sound. Or even when not filled with insulated material, the air entrapped within the cavity will work as a medium of insulation.

  • Supports Sustainability

Sustainability is the concept of preserving today for future generations. Residential construction in India works on the concept of building today for future generations. And, using these green building elements supports the idea of sustainability.

  • Made From Reusable Materials

Industrial waste materials, like fly ash, rice husks, are used in the construction of cavity walls. And reusable materials like mineral wool, polystyrene beads, recycled cellulose, and polyurethane foam are used for insulation materials. This helps to reduce industrial waste, and the usage of reusable materials is environmentally friendly.

  • Aesthetic

A cavity made with concrete or stone masonry with various designs will add an aesthetic look to the building. Just like we used this concept in our Majestic, a premium office and retail space.

  • Increase Property Value

Adding environment-sustainable elements to a building will increase its demand and thus increase the value of the property.

Conclusion

D and C Construction is one of the trustworthy Real Estate Developers in Ahmedabad, supporting the idea of sustainability in their design. Cavity walls in Unico, Facade Element in Dynasty, and Facade cum Cavity walls in Majestic, while supporting the idea of sustainability also work as decorative exterior of the building. This design helps to provide ample light, air and supports cross ventilation. Real Estate Development is raising its bar with a sustainable environment.
