Decorative Concrete Designs for Green Homes

Characteristics of a Green Home

With green home plans, the focus is on an earth-friendly lifestyle rather than a specific architectural style. Green building minimizes impact on the environment by:

Using sustainable and renewable resources
Incorporating energy-efficient building materials that reduce heating and cooling needs
Using water-efficient plumbing fixtures and high-efficiency HVAC systems
Preserving indoor air quality by careful selection of nontoxic materials

Concrete Design Ideas

From the foundation to the roof, concrete and other cement-based products can be used to make homes more sustainable, airtight and energy efficient without sacrificing aesthetic appeal.
Insulated concrete walls offer outstanding thermal values and improve indoor air quality because they won't support mold and mildew growth.

Insulated concrete walls provide many benefits, including the ability to be designed in nearly any home style.

Stained concrete floors can absorb, store and release heat while eliminating the need for carpet and other floor coverings that require replacement.
And precast concrete roof tiles have a life span of 50 years or longer.
Concrete also conserves natural resources, uses recycled materials and is manufactured locally.
