Environment friendly building materials

In the race of establishing eco-friendly environment, modern technologies have taken a great leap. One of the major steps can be taken by substituting the environment hazardous building materials with some green building materials. A beneficial action taken for the safety of environment is replacement of conventional building materials with eco-friendly products. They save money, provide long life to the building and protect Mother Nature. It is solely an individual’s duty to remove the rust from the environment and that can be done by using such environment friendly materials.

Depending on the geographical location, construction of the building should be done, in order to minimize the transport cost. The products must be made from renewable resources and should not contain any toxic materials. By using such products the harmful impact on the environment can be reduced to a large extent. From the aspect of the property owner environmental friendly building materials have many advantages. Some of these are:

Have a greater longevity and the cost of construction is also less than the traditional homes.

Do not suffer due to natural issues.

Water resistant.

Free from damage or rust.

Not harmful for one’s health, because it is free from toxic elements and carcinogenic residues.

No chemical based product is used while cleaning these materials, which indirectly encourages environmental sustainability.

As an extra advantage, it provides proper air circulation to every corner of the house.

Although eco-friendly building materials have several benefits, still most of the contractors give preference to traditional homes, over the green homes, because these are relatively inexpensive to build. So there might be a risk that the manufacturers might introduce some materials claiming that those are eco-friendly. It is your responsibility to verify whether the products that they claim are really eco-friendly or not. Consulting a neutral third party is a clever choice. You can also visit the nearest store that supplies building materials to get the proof. Your vigilance will prove worthwhile.

Considering eco-friendly construction materials to be safe for the environment, they can be classified in two types. One is the non-living natural resources and the other is living natural resources. Among the several alternatives of building materials, stones or cedars have earned the maximum positive response. Wood has been used as a preferred building material since a long time, but due to incredible decrease of this resource we should prefer

not to over use it. Bamboos are flexible and strong enough to be used as building materials. Even cork with cavity filled by wool can establish itself as another insulated alternative construction material. For flooring and roofing terracotta tiling or linoleum can be used.

Due to global warming issue and depletion of energy and water resources, we should take firm steps to safeguard the nature and environment. Along with the government, we should individually contribute at least a fractional percentage for the improvement of nature. Hence, strive for the establishment of environment friendly buildings, so as to save the nature and your pocket. From now onwards, keep these points in your mind while constructing your home.
