Energy Saving: Hebel has excellent thermal insulation properties due to the cellular structure of the Hebel material. A well designed and built Hebel house results in a cool interior in summer and warm interior in winter, and can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs. Hebel construction detailing means air infiltration is minimised and thermal efficiency is fully utilised.
	Noise Resistant: Hebel demonstrates superior acoustic performance compared with many other building materials. Hebel both reflects sound and absorbs it, offering an excellent sound insulation solution with possibilities for enhancing living environments both indoors and outdoors.
	Fireproof: Hebel is incombustible and is thus especially suited for fire-rated applications, with fire ratings in excess of 4 hours possible.
	Breathable: Hebel is breathable and therefore allows the diffusion of moisture vapour, helping to moderate moisture levels within a building. Hebel walls self-regulate indoor humidity levels by automatically absorbing and releasing moisture. This is vital for maintaining correct relative humidity, preventing condensation and associated problems with fungal molds. Breathable acrylic exterior coatings provide a water resistant barrier while still allowing moisture vapour transfer.
	Non-toxic: Hebel is an inert material that is completely non-toxic. The main ingredients of Hebel are quartz sand, cement, lime and water. After the production process and steam curing (autoclaving), the materials chemical and mineral composition has been stabilised to form a solid Tobermorite crystalline structure which is a volcanic material found in nature. This material is inert and harmless to touch.
	Lightweight: Hebel products are supplied at a standard dry density range of 500kg/m3 to 650kg/m3. Hebel is approximately one-fifth the weight of normal concrete with resultant savings in transport and construction costs.
	Accurate: Hebel products are dimensionally accurate making installation easier and raising the quality of the construction process and finished product.
	Durable: Hebel structures are highly durable and will not degrade under normal atmospheric conditions. Hebel products have been in use in many countries around the world for over 65 years. Since that time the material has proven its durability under many varying climatic and chemical conditions. Hebel is not a food source for insects and does not harbour or encourage vermin.
	Fast Installation: Hebel's light weight and good workability means that it is very quick to install on site.
	Easily Worked: Hebel can be sawn, drilled, nailed and routered using normal wood working tools. This greatly increases onsite productivity and creativity. Arches, curves, mouldings and decorative features are all easily formed in the material using standard carpentry tools.
	Versatile: Hebel building products can be used for all applications including walls, roofs, floors and balconies, in both load-bearing and non-load bearing applications.
