eco-friendly This time I literally looted one of the My favorite sites:
http://www.greenme.it/abitare/eco-fai-da-te/3199-5-consigli-per-una-ristrutturazione-di-casaecosostenibile 'Plan for the renovation of the house is a little' how to plan their marriage, there are a thousand things to arrange, so many vendors to contact, along with lots and lots of materials to choose from. So if you are planning to renovate your home we invite you to do so while respecting the environment. With some little foresight, in fact, you will be able to choose the best materials on the market green.
1) Buy only quality materials, durable
A restructuring plan, which foresees a massive intervention on housing, between seventy and can produce 115 kg of waste per square meter. Then choose quality materials that will last over time.
If the fixer is that of life, try to replace only the bare essentials. But if you think you see it after some years of good quality materials used and even in neutral colors. In this way, future buyers may avoid performing other work, mostly appreciate your renovation.
2) Instead of replacing, try to repair.
At times like the great masters of painting, there would be no need to rip everything and start on a new canvas. But it is not always the best choice. Take For example, the furniture in the kitchen: If the property is in good condition and is not compromised even by water, you can just belittling the look rather than buy new. Maybe just changing the doors of the cabinets.
You can repair and "modernize" so many other parts of the house: the old wall painting, linoleum floors, laminate countertops, and maybe you can professionally restore windows and recover old furniture. This reduces significantly the production of waste for disposal and also save money that you can also invest in a second time in major works such as the rebuilding of the water system or the electrical system.
3) Use materials and toxic substances
All that is good for the planet is good for all of us. Often, however, many of the materials that enter our homes contain chemicals hazardous to our health that are released for years. For example, formaldehyde is used in the carpet or in the insulation, and some volatile organic compounds (VOC) are used for paints or adhesives for floor coverings.
the same price you can buy non-toxic materials (cotton fiber insulation, carpeting organic) or search for less harmful ecological paints with lower VOC percentages.
4) Choose local resources
So how can you make your garden more sustainable and easy to grow using native plants or your board greener by choosing local produce, so you can have a smaller environmental impact with your renovation project. Try to buy the materials "at km zero", so as to limit carbon emissions related to transport.
5) Planned waste disposal
Properly dispose of waste may take time, but it is a risk that deserves to be run to get rid of it responsibly. Contact
providers and local scrap yards to see if wiring or retire old appliances. If you plan to buy new ones, remember that with a new decree against a disposal of old washing machines, refrigerators, and old PC is charged to the seller. So pretendetene withdrawal charge. E 'can then find companies that take advantage of sinks and doors. Also out on a budget for disposal, possibly made by companies that comply with all the series regulations.
Your decision to make a green renovation will certainly require a little more effort, but with careful planning you can get great results and save valuable time.
also arrange in advance will allow you to find incentives to choose eco-friendly and maybe enjoy some tax benefits (such as the deduction 55%)
After completion of the work there that will enjoy the new house with a touch of pride in your restructuring for more eco-friendly '. Until next
