From the looks of things, contemporary cities are made completely out of concrete. This is a versatile and useful substance to be sure. However, it is not the only option for constructing huge buildings. There are several other eco-friendly possibilities that are increasing in popularity.
Green establishments are attempting to limit their carbon footprint and meet the needs of their clients in this respect. With that in mind, it is wise to look at different materials. In addition to being environmentally friendly, many of these substances can help you save money. You can do this on energy and construction in the long term. Below are some of the most interesting options.
Straw bales
In the past straw was one of the most popular construction materials in the world. At first it was a great choice for roofing. However, in the 19th century the creation of hay baling machines meant it became an option for walls too. This is because the machinery could easily and quickly create consistent, stackable bales.
Today straw bale construction may not be the most common, but it is a very green option and is gaining popularity. It is simple to move and locate the materials. In addition, it is one of the top substances in terms of heat preservation and insulation. That can make it a good option for walls in various structures.
Bamboo
This has proven itself to be a worthy substitute for numerous forms of wood employed in construction. Bamboo has the feel and look of the woods you would normally utilise. Moreover, it is easy to maintain and shape. This makes it a very useful option.
One reason why bamboo is talking the place of wood is that it is highly sustainable. It grows very quickly and you don’t need to cut it down entirely to use it for construction. All it takes is cutting off what you need. It will then continue growing and replace the material you are using. Therefore, you won’t have to harm the location you are using for resources.
