When considering their next home renovation, home owners are often faced with a myriad of choices in terms of material and finish selection available on the market. While many homeowners want to make a conscious choice in selecting environmentally friendly or green materials, not many may be aware that renovating with sustainability in mind does not need to cost an arm and a leg.
In fact, using green materials is more than simply a trend. Sustainable living is now a way to experience more comfort, save money and reduce environmental impact during a home renovation. Home owners can make a real difference by choosing sustainable materials for their homes, whether they are building new or renovating their existing units. Here, we've gathered a list of nine locally available materials that put sustainability at the forefront of their product offerings.
FABRICS BY GOODRICH
The wallcoverings and wallpapers offered by Goodrich are made from natural materials, such as bamboo, grass cloth, or cork. These materials are renewable, biodegradable, and often have a lower environmental impact than synthetic materials. Goodrich also offers digital printing technology that allows on-demand printing, which reduces waste and minimises large production runs. This also means that wallpaper customisation and personalisation are more accessible and sustainable.
