Eco-renovation is the process of remodeling a non-environmental object (residential and commercial premises, and sometimes entire cities) to turn it into a state of ecology – compliance with the requirements of greening, urban ecology, architectural and construction ecology, and environmental postulates.
Because we spend most of our lives, namely 75% of our time indoors, the furniture, the materials from which a building is made, and, finally, the air in the room, must be safe for humans from an environmental point of view. The modern world's technology does not stand still and has received a new branch of development, namely the design of rooms for life and work on the principle of environmental safety.
Some eco-renovation firms provide services in the direction of green remodeling of the premises. And since the issue of rational use of natural resources is rapidly moving up the topical themes of mankind, such firms are in high demand in the construction market. Eco-friendly remodeling refers to finishing a room exclusively with environmentally friendly materials. A mandatory requirement for the criteria for the selection of materials for green remodeling is their environmental friendliness. After all, comfortable housing can not be based on synthetic and unpleasant textures.
Nowadays, companies making eco-friendly building materials have learned to adjust any material to natural finishes. Materials that have special certificates and appropriate documents are safe for health. Eco-renovation companies will help ones choose the most suitable building materials for a particular green renovation. When choosing nature-friendly materials for eco-repair, it is important to three criteria must be taken into account:
1. The materials must be harmless to human health before, during, and after the repair: that is, at all stages, from the production of raw materials to disposal.
2. Materials must not contaminate the environment or burden it with excessive production, and must not pollute the environment or burden it with excessive energy consumption.
3. The distance from where the materials are produced to where they will be used in construction should be minimal.
The following finishes are used in green home remodeling:
● Natural wallpaper. Many people prefer resistant vinyl wallpaper, but it contains formaldehyde, which evaporates in minimal doses. Fliselin wallpaper, too, is durable, they do not contain harmful substances, but also does not allow air to pass through. Therefore, it is better to wallpaper the walls in the living room or kitchen. For the bedroom and children's room, experts advise giving preference to paper, bamboo wallpaper, or coverings made of cork.
● Paints. Eco-friendly paint does not contain phthalates, carcinogenic formaldehyde, kerosene, styrene, ethylbenzene, and heavy metals. It is better to give preference to compositions on a water basis. Safe products are marked with eco certificates, such as EU Ecolabel. It means that such paint checked the composition, and manufacturing process, and disposal.
Gypsum plaster and putty can improve the microclimate in the room.
● Flooring. Solid floorboards, parquet, cork, bamboo, and linoleum, are made from linseed oil, cork dust, wood flour and resin, and ground limestone pigment.
● Ceiling. Stretch fabric ceilings are the most environmentally friendly option compared to plasterboard ceilings, the construction of which contains a lot of dust, and during further coloring, toxins enter the air. In any case, ask the manufacturer for a product quality certificate, which must comply with European norms.
All materials used for green remodeling must comply with classes E0 and E1. This classification is accepted in European countries. The possibilities of ecological materials are very great. Do not think that eco is necessarily rough textures, or raw materials, suitable only for creating rustic styling. Any elements of furniture or decoration can be made eco-friendly. The main thing is to check the quality standards.Technological progress contributes to the constant development of the latest production technology and helps to ensure that the market is fully supplied with the best green renovation companies.
