Lumber options
Lumber options may seem confusing. Avoid old wood products or tropical hardwoods that are rare. Look for managed and certified forests, reclaimed or recycled wood or vehicles such as medium density fiberboard for cabinets and doors. The rapid growth of bamboo is one of the first things architects have to do to make floors beautiful and durable.
Polymer or rubber roofing
Recycled products occupy the market faster the aluminum cans during a sporting event. Look for polymer and rubber roofing that mimic the board to decrease weight and maintain. On the countertop, 75% recycled glass is blended with concrete for durable surfaces, showers, floors, and walls.
Reclaimed wood
Reclaimed wood can be used for the construction of walls, support beams or roof construction. Many green businesses specialize in building materials for old homes about to be demolished or rip to pieces. Instead of filling the landfills, reclaimed wood can be used in new construction.
Straw bales
Straw bales typically weigh between 23 and 41 kg and a 2,000 square foot home requires about 300 medium-sized straw bales to build. Although few authorities account for the construction of straw bales in local authorities, building code and cope with the construction on a case-by-case basis.
Artificial grass
The centerpiece of this patio is the luxurious green grass. The best part is totally free maintenance. Environmental artificial grass does not need water and stays green for years.
Bamboo butcher block
Formaldehyde-free bamboo is ideal for kitchens as it is safe for food and does not release harmful toxins. Bamboo grows quickly and matures in just four years. Harvesting is done by hand in tightly managed forests, which minimizes any negative impact on the environment.
Low emission windows
Low emission windows maintain the heat inside the house in winter and outside in summer. Low windows usually cost between $ 60 and $ 110 each. This is 10 to 15% higher than the transparent glass storm windows, but it certainly has advantages: it can halve the flow of heat through the glass, which will reduce heating costs.
