With the growing environmental crises, sustainable construction continues to grow in popularity. But what do eco-friendly homes and garden buildings look like? Our sustainable home builders explain some of the key features of eco homes, garden offices and other structures. With a passion for sustainable builds, we work with clients in Hastings, Rye and the surrounding areas to make every new home and outbuilding as eco-friendly as possible, keeping the surrounding environment in mind. From prefab garden offices to new homes that incorporate a range of sustainable materials, methods and features, our eco house builders help create future-proof structures.
The following are some of the main aspects of eco builds:
Using sustainable materials is an effective way to reduce the environmental impact of construction. It also helps to use local materials where possible, reducing the need for transportation.
There are many sustainable options available for new homes and garden buildings in Rye, which our eco house builders can advise on, such as:
Our sustainable home builders always source the most suitable materials for your project in order to create a high-quality bespoke home or garden office built with the environment in mind.
Solar panels are ideal for garden buildings and as well as main houses in Rye. As well as benefiting the environment by utilising natural and renewable energy, solar power also helps save you money by reducing the cost of your electricity bills.
At D&P Eco Builds Ltd, we specialise in prefab garden offices and outbuildings, and we plan to provide prefab homes in the future. Prefabricated structures are more eco-friendly than traditional construction methods because we spend less time transporting materials or travelling to and from site. Prefab buildings also offer more energy efficient construction.
When constructing modern homes in the Rye area, our eco house builders try to make the most of natural light. One way we do this by creating open spaces that allow light to penetrate further into the house. Maximising natural light has environmental benefits such as reducing the need for electric lighting and heating, as well as health benefits.
Ensuring homes and garden buildings have plenty of insulation makes them more energy efficient and comfortable. In addition, using sustainable insulation such as wool or wood fibre makes your Rye build even more eco-friendly. Our sustainable home builders can even incorporate insulation into prefab garden offices and buildings, reducing on site build time.
Windows and doors also contribute to insulation, so it is important to choose high-quality double or triple glazed options.
