We understand
the importance of our planet and take sustainability
seriously. The environment is our home and we
need to take care of it as you take care of your
home. At MyHome we make efforts to ensure that
we can save, recycle and reuse where ever possible.
When you start thinking about your renovation
project, going green may be one of the items on
your wish list. Making your home a healthy place
with clean air for you and your children especially
in a city such as New York is extremely important.
We can make your project sustainable by using
low formaldehyde (a toxic gas) plywood, MDF boards
and adhesives to clients who request. We can also
use green paints in your home such as Benjamin
Moore Aura® , Natura® , Green Promise® and other
low VOC paints for cleaner air. At the end of
the renovation, clients can request to have their
homes cleaned with environmentally friendly cleaning
aids.
You can choose to make your home greener if you
install dimmers and motion activated lights, programmable
thermostats and home automation systems to shut
off all lighting when you leave. Another great
way to save is by selecting light fixtures that
use efficient bulbs such as L.E.D or compact fluorescent
lights. It is a good idea to select Energy Star®
appliances for your kitchen and install water
filters instead of using plastic bottled mineral
water. You can take your project a step further
towards being environmentally conscious by selecting
bamboo cabinets as well as flooring and millwork
veneered with Certified Forest Stewardship label
(FSC).
Our designers can help you in having fun with
your green selections and show you ways to save
on your energy bill as well as the planet.
