Tips For An Eco-Friendly Bathroom Remodel

Today is Earth Day! It is important to look at different ways to incorporate the "go green" movement into your home. This is especially true for the bathroom. Below are some tips for designing the eco-friendly bathroom of your dreams.

Go With The (Low) Flow
Do you have a toilet in your bathroom that was installed prior to 1992? If so, your toilet is wasting gallons of water per flush. To conserve water, consider our low flow toilets. Your faucets can also conserve water by having an aerator installed.

Lighting The Way
Lighting is usually an afterthought of bathroom remodeling. However, the right lighting can help set the ambiance of your bathroom. Looking for an energy efficient option? Choose LED lights. They are Energy Star certified and use much less energy than traditional light bulbs.

Use Recycled Materials
Reduce, reuse and recycle has become the catch phrase of the sustainability movement. You can incorporate this into your bathroom remodeling project by re-purposing recycled materials. Counter tops and cabinetry can be fashioned from other materials.
