At Abeiro, we’re committed to a more responsible, efficient, and healthy way of building. Galicia—thanks to its climate and strong construction heritage—is the perfect place to use eco-friendly, locally sourced materials in new builds and renovations, reducing environmental impact without compromising on quality, durability, or design.
Why choose eco-friendly materials?
Lower carbon footprint: local materials and low-impact processes.
Healthier homes: fewer toxins and better indoor air quality.
Greater comfort: improved thermal and acoustic insulation, plus natural humidity regulation.
Galician tradition, updated: time-tested materials combined with modern solutions.
Eco-friendly materials ideal for Galicia
Certified timber (FSC/PEFC): for structures, flooring, and joinery. Highly durable (especially chestnut and oak) and naturally warm.
Natural cork: excellent thermal and acoustic insulation, especially effective in humid environments.
Local stone (granite and slate): extremely durable, low maintenance, and great thermal mass.
Clay and raw earth (traditional renders/solutions): help regulate humidity and temperature, creating very comfortable interiors.
Recycled cellulose: efficient insulation for cavities and roofs, with strong thermal and acoustic performance.
Natural paints and varnishes: lower VOCs and allow walls to breathe.
Common mistakes to avoid
Not considering the full life cycle (origin, transport, use, and recycling).
Choosing based only on upfront cost instead of long-term energy savings.
Using solutions not suited to Galicia’s humid climate without managing vapor, ventilation, and thermal bridges.
