Sustainable Renovation With Craft Homes

AUCKLAND, New Zealand - June 22, 2020 - PRLog -- There are many reasons homeowners might seek to undertake a sustainable home renovation, including boosting property market value, modernising an older home, or simply making a house more stylish or comfortable. These days, one of the most common reasons for renovations that they see at Craft Homes is cutting down on energy costs. Typically, this can be done by updating features that help reduce the overall usage of water, electricity, gas, or all of the above.

Even relatively small and cheap renovations can pay for themselves in energy savings quite easily; there are energy-saving renovations that fit any budget. With that in mind, Craft Homes are looking at some renovations for smaller and bigger budgets and discussing the positive impact these changes can make on your home.

One key improvement is using insulation to maximise the thermal efficiency of your home. This can be achieved by investing in insulation in your floors and ceiling, which is a relatively easy and cost-effective solution. Existing external walls can also be insulated using blown in or injected products. Similarly, the type of windows you have in your existing home has a significant effect on thermal performance and air tightness. They also recommend investing in appliances that have a high star rating for energy and water efficiency, to save you money for years to come.

Energy-efficiency and sustainable homes are only going to become more important across New Zealand as time goes on.

Their experts can help you turn your home into one that works for you, and works for the environment too.
