Kalia's Luna model framing shown here is made from galvanized steel.
Sustainable building is the exciting new future in home development, providing superior quality residences with minimal impact on the environment. Kalia is a firm supporter of the sustainable building movement. As such, all Kalia homes are constructed with green building practices and materials using local labor, and each home is carefully placed in a location that requires little disturbance of the lot’s natural Costa Rica terrain. We have already discussed Kalia’s commitment to the ecofriendly green roofing practices, and this week we are putting the spotlight on the community’s use of sustainable galvanized steel structures.
Galvanized steel framing of the Tierra model located in Kalia's Black Beauty Village.
Galvanized steel structures are covered in a coating of 98% zinc metal, which is what gives the steel its sustainable properties. The galvanized coating is 100% recyclable, protects the steel structure from corrosion and rusting for over fifty years, eliminating the need for additional energy, materials or environmental impact to maintain the structure. Thanks to the building material’s worldwide availability, low environmental impact and maintenance-free upkeep, galvanized steel is fast becoming a go-to supply for green building.
Interestingly, galvanized steel structures are not only better for the environment, they are also better for the homeowner. Galvanization protects all structural steel, handrails and decks from rusting and corrosion for a safe living environment that always looks sleek and modern. Since it requires no maintenance, the homeowner reaps the rewards of the great appearance and safety without having to pay a dime in upkeep. Painted steel and concrete might look good at first, but they cannot hold a candle to the staying power of galvanized steel structures. Thanks to its green benefits and nonexistent maintenance and clean, modern appearance Kalia uses galvanized steel in all its sustainably luxurious Costa Rica homes.
