Green Homes

So many may ask, what are green homes? What are tiny homes? what are their benefits? and what gives a home its green? Green homes are affordable, healthy, energy-saving, sustainable, and ecosystem-friendly homes. There are many benefits to having green homes:

• They provide a comfortable and healthy environment

• Smaller environmental footprint on the planet.

• Highly energy-efficient.

• Helps homeowners save money.

What Makes a Green Home?

Although normal homes can be remodeled into green homes, they differ from normal homes because of certain distinct characteristics which are:

Alternative Energy: Green homes are amazing as they use an alternative renewable source of energy from either solar or wind. At Pistolatum we build green homes to use lesser energy than conventional homes, allowing homeowners to save a lot on their electricity and heat bills.

Safety: Green homes are built to protect both you and the environment by using safe materials. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) found in most adhesives, paints, wood flooring, carpets are completely avoided. As a green builder, at Pistolatum we use alternative materials for safety that meet the standard.

Sealing: An important aspect of a green home is its sealing which has to be installed properly. This is important as it helps reduces energy loss thus, reducing your bill. As a green builder, we install your green home windows and doors sealing with professionalism as we follow standards by helping you keep your carbon footprint down.

Insulation: With insulation, there is a barrier between the outdoor temperature (cold and hot) and your home temperature. Setting up this barrier can make your home more comfortable. You can go as far as setting up exterior wall insulation just to add a layer to your thermal barrier. Keeping every area of your home at an even temperature can not be over-emphasized for comfort.
