One of the most important parts of the house is the roof.  This should be well planned and the material well researched on because it can make or break the overall look of the house if you are viewing it from the outside.  Also, this is the most important part because a leaking roof or a defectively installed one can ruin everything that is inside of the house. No one would want a leaking roof over one’s head or worse, a hole on the roof!

Are Natural Construction Materials Also Earth Friendly?

Constructing a new home can be stressful to both the owner as well as the environment. It stresses out the owner because of the costs that are involved in the construction phase that it can pile up if not attended to properly.  The costs can balloon up to more than what is intended to be if the owner is not supervising it attentively. Aside from the homeowner, building it does have an effect on the environment especially when you use the traditional wood, steel and concrete as the basic materials for building the house. Aside from the energy needed to cool the house, it is the manufacturing of the construction materials also adds up to the environmental costs.

The new method of building homes is utilizing natural materials that are renewable and naturally occurring.  It is also best to use locally available materials so there is less cost, as there are no transportation costs involved. Moreover, using local materials lessen the impact on the environment because of the less pollution would be emitted as there is no need to transport it from another location.           

Another great thing about using natural construction materials is that they emit fewer toxins and other volatile organic compounds, which are said to be the cause of respiratory problems like allergies and asthma. Also, because they are natural, they can either be recycled or won’t have any problems when placed in landfills because they are biodegradable and would decompose and go back to the earth.  

One of the natural construction items that you can utilize is rock.  Of course, it would be easier to use a perfectly formed slab but rocks are much better as they have very good thermal mass. This means that they can absorb the heat from the outside temperature, hold it and radiate it slowly warming your home.  Diamond blade cutters can be used to cut the rock slabs to the size and shape needed.  This is much better than using insulation, which prevents heat from flowing in and out of the building.

For those in the tropics, bamboo is one of the commonly used natural materials.  This is also becoming popular in other countries.  It is strong, sturdy and versatile at the same time.  To create same sizes, and cut the bamboo into slats with ease, diamond blade cutters can be used to cut the processing time in half the time. Bamboo is a renewable source because bamboo plants are relatively easy to grow unlike other hardwoods, which takes lots of years to be able to use it.  Aside from bamboo, another material that can be used for walls of a home is cob, which is a mixture of earth and straw.   This is a great material to use for creative and free-form construction because waves and curves can be easily made on the wall without having to use heavy duty construction tools.

For those planning to construct a home this time, it is best to take a look at these renewable and environmentally friendly natural construction materials.  They do not do much damage with the environment because they are naturally occurring and there would be no need to worry about pollution unlike the types that comes with the manufacturing of synthetic man-made materials.
