Clay panels create a balanced indoor climate

For interior construction, Lehmorange offers prefabricated clay building boards that, according to the manufacturer, ensure a comfortable indoor climate all year round. They are suitable for use throughout the interior – both for walls and ceilings. Like gypsum plasterboard, clay boards are easily installed using stud or frame construction methods.

Regulating the indoor climate

In addition to their high heat storage capacity, clay interior wall systems bind moisture in the air. Due to its structural-physical properties, clay is also able to reduce the CO2 content in the air. „With clay building boards, you practically create your own feel-good climate. As a building material, clay makes a decisive contribution to this,“ explains Thomas Bader, Managing Director of the Leipfinger-Bader brickworks, to which Lehmorange belongs.
