Increasing consumption habits and insufficient resources have disconnected people from nature. At HAU, we transform vegetable waste into valuable building materials using the binding power of mushrooms. Our aim is to provide a solution to designers who want to reconnect with nature for a sustainable world.
HAU Mycelium Building Composite is a lightweight and eco-friendly material preferred in building architecture and decoration applications. It can be molded and shaped, allowing for the production of panels as well as complex geometrical parts.
The excellent thermal and sound insulation performance of HAU Mycelium Building Composite holds promise for the energy-efficient and comfortable buildings of the future. Studies have shown that it has a good thermal insulation coefficient ranging from 0.03 to 0.06 W/m.K. Additionally, mycelium biocomposites exhibit excellent sound insulation properties, providing approximately 75% acoustic absorption compared to the typical 40% absorption of mineral wool at the most commonly used frequency value of 1000 Hz for road traffic noise.
