3 big questions you should be asking about what ‘green’ means

1. Where does it come from and what has gone into producing it?

(ARA) - As consumers and marketers have jumped onto the trend, it’s no longer difficult to outfit your home with products that are classified as “green.”

Did it come from the earth or was it produced in a factory? Usually, the less time spent manufacturing the product in a factory means less energy consumed in preparing You now have multiple choices among the product for your use, as the heavy products that claim to be the most machinery required to manufacture materials environmentally friendly, in a factory setting also which can cause some uses lots of energy.

When selecting green building materials, consider their overall impact on the environment. Look for North American wood products that come from independently environment,” says Mike McDonald, national certified forests. green homebuilder. “Select products that are natural and renewable.” Where do you start in determining which products provide the best energy savings and least environmental impact as you embark on your next home project?

How Green??

{from page 20} shopping for building products, ask the retailer these types of questions. Native wood products from the United States or Canada will have travelled a shorter distance when they make it to your house. You should also give thought to the impact of any work you might need to do with the products once you bring them home from the store or lumber yard. “For home improvement projects, select materials that are durable and easy to install,” says Brian Kelsey, star of HGTV’s Creative Edge. “Avoid materials that create toxic dust when cut.”

3. How long will the material last and how will it hold up? A key to conservation is selecting materials

that will hold up for a long time, as they won’t need to be harvested or manufactured as frequently. This will save you money in the long run as well. McDonald and Kelsey recommend using wood products like Western Red Cedar for projects because it’s the most sustainable choice and it’s beautiful, durable and will outlast other choices. Naturally resistant to moisture, cedar products can last longer than alternative manmade materials like composites. Cedar can also be restored and reused in other building projects. Plus, it is biodegradable if discarded. “I use Western Red Cedar for everything,” says Kelsey. “Beyond the beauty, the natural oils in the cedar prevent rot. So instead having to go out and buy a chemically treated pine for outdoor projects, I can use cedar and not worry about the chemicals.” By asking the right questions, you’ll be sure that you are doing your part for the environment by selecting the building products with the least impact. Whether you are building a deck, siding your house or adding warmth to interiors, if you select the right material, you’ll ensure that your projects will look good for longer.

Weatherize or Replace? Let our experts help you decide the right solution for increasing your energy efficiency. There are a few key things to consider when trying to decide the best solution for increasing the efficiency of your home’s windows. First, what is the age of your windows? If your home is 20 years or older and you still have the original windows, you should consider replacement Micah Voter options. Second, are there clear Window & Door Specialist areas of air leaks, cracks? Often times the issue with windows comes in the installation rather than the window itself. You might be able to resolve some of your energy loss by filling air leaks with caulking or putty, especially if your windows themselves are in fairly good shape. Third, what are your plans for your home? If you are planning on staying in your home for a while, replacing your windows is a bit of an investment up front, but over time has huge savings benefits. Rather than dealing with temporary solutions each season, and the time and cost associated, you might weigh all the factors and see if replacement windows make more sense for your long-term plans. Plus, if you are looking to sell down the road, new windows are a great selling feature! Federal Tax Energy Credits up to $1,500 expire December 31st, 2010. If you are considering replacing your windows, this really is the best time to do it! Give us a call or come by your local store today. Together we can find the perfect solution for you, your home and your budget. From weatherization to replacement, Hancock Lumber has everything you need to increase the efficiency of your windows before winter!
