HEARTH & HOME

is highly energy efficient, recyclable and easy to maintain. Wood seems
like the most “green” option, but you need to be sure you get a type
of wood that’s insect- and moisture-repellant like cedar. For the bold,
metal is an option if the thought of upcycling appeals to you, but it’s
not as energy efficient. If you choose to look for a sustainable exterior,
choose a professional who can educate you on each option.
As with anything, our homes need care to remain fresh on the
outside. Before you decide to build a new home, consider updating the
one you have.
