Is the environment taken into consideration in every aspect of the EnviroHome?
That’s the key to the EnviroHome concept. Environmentally responsible construction materials are used. Concrete is inert, non-toxic and produced from abundant natural and recycled materials. The interior wall studs supplied by VicWest Thermasteel are manufactured using recycled steel, and both the insulation and drywall contain recycled material. The fresh-air ventilation system helps to ensure a healthy indoor living environment without compromising energy efficiency. Materials and products, from flooring and kitchen cabinets to paints, varnishes and glues, have been carefully chosen to minimize the amount of chemicals released into the home’s air. Water-conserving toilets, faucets and showerheads reduce water use.
