Can I build an eco-friendly home extension?

Adding an extension can provide the perfect opportunity to rethink your family’s energy consumption, especially as you can increase the amount of natural light coming into your home. Rooflights have been proven to allow 40% more natural light to flood in, making them ideal for single-storey extensions and reducing your reliance on artificial lighting. Combined with solar panels, this can reduce your family’s outgoings while also improving your home’s environmental credentials. In terms of the construction, the market for eco-friendly materials derived from recycled products is growing, while engineered timber from sustainable forests is also moving more into the mainstream. Leading environmentally friendly materials include Celcon foundation blocks and Fibolite paints and decorating products which are low VOC, low carbon and made from renewable and recycled content, while ecologically sound site cleaning products are also gaining traction.
