HOW TO BUILD SUSTAINABLE HOMES

If you plan to build a sustainable home or renovate an existing home, it is time to look at the sustainable home plans in which many "eco-friendly" or "green" products can reduce the cost of the electricity bill, water heating, etc.
When building or renovating a sustainable home, make sure you've researched the products you want to use in sustainable home plans. In particular, the products are designed with organic compounds of low volatility (VOCs). VOCs contain chemicals that can affect human health because they increase the toxins in your environment. Unfortunately, VOCs are around the world - plastics, adhesives, building materials, etc. - Always check the label and always check with your supplier if your product has the lowest VOC level possible.

Kitchen and bathroom design
Selection of bench tops made from recycled materials such as reconstituted concrete. This type of product is polished to a high gloss and comes with a wide range of color styles and patterns to choose from.
The recycled glass is another option to consider as it will add a unique feature to the bench top in the kitchen or bathroom.
For kitchen and bathroom cabinets and cupboards, consider using recycled wood. The recycled wood products offer exquisite pearls that run in the veins of wood, and when the natural oils run out, they look beautiful.
Wooden curtains are also the ideal solution for kitchen "drapes." They can be installed so that they fall back to the sides of the windows and allow all light to enter the room. If you buy enclosed blinds, it will provide insulation against the cold or heat of windows or doors. Remember that if you pull your curtains, you make the most of the natural light that enters your room.

Floor:
Find out if you can collect the wood floors from demolished houses because they also look great when installed, refined and finished with natural oil.
Keep in mind that every element of recycled material that you can use to build or renovate your new sustainable home is another element that will not end up in a landfill.
