Duravit bathroom

Like many families, you want the best for your environment and for your home. You probably also have a bathroom that you would love to remodel and give it a new look as well, as be more functional. So why not make your bathroom not only look better but also eco-friendly? Fortunately, the evolution of the eco-friendly movement has given rise to many eco-responsible products and resources that allow you to create the water-conserving, healthy, energy-wise bathroom you have always wanted.

Here are some eco-friendly home remodeling tips to transform your bathroom green:

  • Install an aerator on the faucets and showerheads. This will lessen the amount of water consumed. A low-flow showerhead can reduce water consumption by 30%.
  • Incorporating a low-flow toilet will use a lesser amount of water.
  • Trading a tanked water heater with a tankless model will diminish the amount of energy consumed and the cost to heat water. A tankless water heater will heat only what is needed. Plus, it doesn’t require a pilot light, so it produces less carbon dioxide and increases indoor air quality.
  • Compact fluorescent bulbs use less energy than incandescent bulbs and last much longer.
  • When remodeling, look for paint with a low volatile organic compounds (VOC) label because they are less toxic.
  • Also choosing all-natural materials can help transform your bathroom into a more eco-friendly one. Choose materials like organic cotton for bath linens. Replace your shower curtain with the PVC types that are made of plastic to a heavy cotton duck curtain.
  • Also, use recycled building materials when remodeling your bathroom. Recycled tiles and wood can beautify your bathroom just as well.
