Unveiling modern construction: techniques, trends, and sustainability | Page 3

In 2025, photocatalytic coatings are becoming a key solution for creating self-cleaning facades. The cost of such formulations ranges from $15-45 per square meter, which is justified by up to 60% savings on maintenance over the building's lifecycle

Technological soundproofing materials in 2025 open new possibilities for combating noise. Modern soundproofing materials based on nanotechnology and smart materials can block up to 94% of unwanted sounds

Summary: Biodegradable adhesives from renewable raw materials are gradually replacing toxic synthetic compounds in specific applications. The market for sustainable materials is growing by 8-12% annually, offering alternative solutions for packaging, finishing works, and specialized construction tasks. In 2025, the global market for biodegradable adhesives is estimated by analysts to be $6.2-8.4 billion, showing steady growth

How are nanoparticles sized 1-100 nanometers revolutionizing the paint and coatings industry? In 2025, the global market for nano paints and coatings reached $8.7 billion and is rapidly growing toward a projected $14.2 billion by 2030. Nanotechnology in paints unlocks incredible possibilities: from self-cleaning surfaces to antimicrobial coatings that eliminate over 650 types of pathogens

3D printing in construction is experiencing explosive growth! According to Grand View Research, the market will grow from $1.2 billion in 2023 to $8.6 billion by 2030 with an annual growth rate of 29.3%

Aerogel — the material of the future. In 2025, this ultra-thin insulator is revolutionizing the construction industry thanks to its record-low thermal conductivity of 0.013-0.025 W/m·K

Graphene additives are fundamentally transforming the construction industry. According to analytical agencies, the graphene market has reached $195.7 million and is growing at a rate of 35.1% annually

The revolution began quietly. Bio-concrete with encapsulated bacterial spores automatically seals microcracks in structures, potentially extending service life by 50-100 years according to European research. In 2025, the price of self-healing concrete is $160 per cubic meter versus $80 for conventional concrete according to market estimates, but repair savings reach 50% over the full lifecycle

Modern house construction requires a responsible approach to material selection. In 2025, the cellular concrete market is valued at $438.2 million with a projected growth of 5.3% annually. Aerated concrete or foam concrete — one of the most pressing questions for developers, as the comfort and durability of the future home depends on the right choice. Both materials belong to lightweight concrete

Many people think that hardboard is the same as fiberboard or that there is no difference between these materials. This is not entirely true. The difference between fiberboard and hardboard is significant and affects the choice of material for specific tasks

In 2025, cellular concrete remains one of the most sought-after wall materials in low-rise construction. According to the International Association of Building Materials, over 40% of new private homes in Europe are built using AAC (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) or non-autoclaved cellular concrete, with an average material cost starting from $120 per cubic meter

In any construction or renovation, it is impossible to do without cement mixtures. In 2025, prices for quality cement range from $80 to $120 per ton. Understanding cement characteristics and labeling will help save not only money but also prevent serious problems in the future. After all, properly selected cement with optimal technical characteristics is like a reliable skeleton for the entire construction organism
