One of the latest national trends in custom home construction that is starting to make its presence known in Central Texas is the desire to build a home that is healthy as possible. Healthy home building has become such a hot topic that seminars on the subject are now being included in home shows around the nation. If you are considering building a custom home in Austin or the nearby area and healthy living is a topic of interest that appeals to you, the tips below may help you to guide you in the right direction.
When planning the design of your custom home, work with your builder to make sure it is built as airtight as possible. Not only will this help to make your home healthier, but it will also make it more energy efficient. The installation of a ventilation system will help to manage the air supply in your home. It is also important to carefully consider the amount of carpet you plan to use in your new home. Carpeting decreases air quality and can also be dangerous allergy-sensitive residents. Finally, be sure to speak to your new home builder about using mold-resistant products in the construction of your custom home. By planning the construction of a healthy home, you can be sure you and your family will be able to enjoy your home for years to come.
