Build a healthier "green" home

(NC)—The efficiency of the home we live in is at the core of environmental responsibility. When building, or renovating, for example, the right questions and decisions will put you in complete control of the construction materials – and anyone prone to allergies, will have even more incentive to do so. Paying attention to your home's structural elements – and eliminating wood – will go a long way to control illness-causing mould for example. Instead, consider the benefits of concrete. Take a look at the innovative, pre-assembled concrete forms supplied by Nudura, for example. It is reported that this company's Lego-like system – using foam panels (EPS) held together with polypropylene webs and reinforced concrete – makes construction easier and faster. It delivers double the insulation and for those looking to control allergy-causing mould spores, this concrete alternative eliminates gaps in our walls where moisture collects. Additional data shows that buildings using the EPS system are up to nine times stronger, provide far more fire protection, far more sound insulation and can produce energy savings of up to 70 percent.
