Through the course of renovating projects throughout the DMV, we’ve come across quite a few cool ideas. Featured here are Live Edge Countertops, AeroBarrier air-tight systems, and Sense electricity usage monitors. All three are environmentally responsible products which offer great benefits!
Live Edge Countertops
Recently, we came across Scott at Eco Friendly Lumber while trying to find the perfect countertop solution for one of our projects. All of their lumber is produced from trees salvaged from construction sites, so no trees are additionally harmed through their process. As Live Edge countertops become more and more popular, we are grateful to find such an environmentally conscious local vendor to meet the demand!
AeroBarrier Envelope Sealing
AeroBarrier is an amazing new solution which seals all the small little cracks and crannies throughout your home, creating a near airtight envelop. Best utilized before installation of drywall, the system pressurizes the building area with an acrylic sealant. Once completed, it will reduce energy costs as well improve indoor air quality. Great for the environment, and great for comfort as well!
Sense Electrical Usage Monitor
Sense is a cool new piece of tech which shows you exactly where your energy is being used. The unit identifies the unique electronic signal for the electrical devices in your home, and monitors them continuously. From there, your usage is presented via a clear, easy to use app. Knowing how much outdated HVAC systems and appliances are costing you will make you want to upgrade to newer, more efficient systems!
