An Oregon Perspective on Sustainable Homes
Markus Stoffel
Environmental Building Supplies
There is a wide variety of natural and sustainable products available to homeowners, businesses and the building trade. These include cabinetry, hardwood flooring, wool carpets, true linoleum, cork, ceramic tiles, paints, stains, certified lumber and more. These materials are not only human and earth-friendly, but they can enhance any space with their natural appeal.
These products typically outlast their synthetic and lower quality counterparts by many years. Choosing sustainable products is easy and offers many advantages. Combined with other sustainable 'green' building materials and technology, new and remodeled structures can be healthier, more comfortable and more efficient than ever before.
