Great Product Reviews To Help You Live The Green Life Style!

Although this website focuses on products used in the construction and renovation of a home that will ultimately make it more environmentally friendly, remember that green building is an all-encompassing subject, and the selection of green building products is only the beginning. Green building includes such issues as:

Cork Flooring
Carbonized Bamboo Wood Flooring

Construction or renovation of a home to save energy: A green building will be built to reduce energy usage and cost. This includes selecting energy efficient HVAC equipment, insulation, windows, doors, and more.

Building Size: The square footage of your home is a critical factor in green building. A smaller building uses far fewer resources, requires less construction time, and typically uses far less energy over time to heat and cool.

Home Durability: A green home is built to last. It should be designed and built to shed water and moisture and keep occupants from from exposure to insects, mold and toxic gasses from building materials. A quality, well-built home will last for years and years, reducing long-term costs and resources.

When building or renovating your home, you should make all efforts to adopt as many green design principles and environmentally-friendly products as your construction budget will allow. Keep in mind that a little extra cost up front for green materials will pay off down the road in lower energy costs.
