What Are Some Eco Friendly Building Materials
There are several types and examples of eco friendly building materials. Know these and make eco-friendly choices in case you intend to have a construction. There are instantly eco-friendly building supplies in the form of recycled materials; rapidly renewable materials; agricultural waste products (straw, rice hulls, orange peels used to make materials) and certified wood. Indirectly eco-friendly green building supplies are low-maintenance materials such as fiberglass windows and slate shingles; minimally processed supplies (natural stone); supplies with low toxicity; energy efficient equipment; quality building components; and renewable energy systems that reduce the use of fossil fuels. Drywalls have alternatives which are eco-friendly too. Another eco-friendly concept came from Fly ash, the residue from coal-fired power plants. These can be harnessed to replace at least half the cement used to make concrete. Bamboo is increasingly being peddled as an environmentally friendly yet durable building material as this is lighter than steel, five times stronger than concrete, and can grow several feet per day making it economical and eco-friendly than lumber from trees which require years to mature.
