As Kerala embraces smarter and greener buildings, interior design is also getting a sustainability makeover. From walls to flooring, eco-conscious materials like hempcrete, cork, bamboo, and recycled composites are making interiors cleaner, safer, and more planet-friendly. At Constructions Kerala, we’re proud to incorporate these next-gen materials into modern builds across Angamaly and beyond.
Why Choose Sustainable Interior Materials?
- 🌱 Reduced carbon footprint
- 🏠 Naturally insulating and breathable
- 🌬️ Improved indoor air quality
- ♻️ Recyclable or biodegradable end-of-life options
- 🌾 Support for regenerative agriculture and ethical sourcing
1. Hempcrete: The Carbon-Absorbing Wall Material
Made from hemp fibres, lime, and water, hempcrete is not just lightweight and breathable—it also sequesters CO₂ as it cures. Its natural thermal regulation makes it ideal for Kerala’s tropical climate.
Best for: Internal walls, partitions, and thermal buffers in eco-homes.
2. Cork: Soft, Silent, and Sustainable
Cork is harvested without harming trees, making it a true renewable resource. It’s naturally antimicrobial, moisture-resistant, and offers great acoustic dampening for urban interiors.
Best for: Flooring, wall panels, and ceiling treatments in bedrooms, offices, and libraries.
3. Bamboo: Fast-Growing, Hard-Wearing
Bamboo grows faster than wood and requires no pesticides. It’s strong, flexible, and aesthetically elegant—perfect for eco-themed Kerala interiors.
Best for: Furniture, cladding, decorative ceilings, and partition screens.
4. Recycled Plastic Composites
Composite panels made from recycled plastics are gaining popularity in modular interiors. Durable and water-resistant, they are ideal for high-traffic, spill-prone zones like kitchens and bathrooms.
5. Clay Plaster & Lime Wash Finishes
Skip synthetic paints and go for breathable, VOC-free lime washes or clay-based interior plasters. These finishes regulate moisture and bring a calming, earthy feel to interior spaces.
6. Mycelium Panels: The Future of Wall Boards?
Mycelium—the root structure of fungi—is now being pressed into strong, lightweight panels. These fully biodegradable boards are gaining traction in green architecture labs and show promising potential for the future of sustainable interiors.
