Green Tips for your Singer Island Condo

Eco-friendly, sustainable living can also be beautiful. Now, high-end design can go hand-in-hand with a smaller carbon footprint. From walls to flooring to furnishings and lighting, there are ways to make your Singer Island condo greener one room at a time.

For walls, you can find low volatile organic compounds (VOC) paints in every shade, as well as wallpapers made from recycled materials. ¬¬Eco-friendly furnishings for your Singer Island condominium include dining and coffee tables crafted from sustainably harvested wood and bamboo.

One of the most important ways to “green up” your Singer Island condo is to replace your conventional mattress with an organic mattress. Many conventional mattresses contain toxic chemicals and polyurethane foam, both of which are bad for the environment. Organic or “green” mattresses feature natural, biodegradable and renewable components such as wool, cotton or natural rubber tree based latex. These earth-friendly, renewable materials provide the same comfort as regular mattresses, so there’s no need to sacrifice quality for eco-friendliness. You can also top that organic mattress with luxe organic cotton or bamboo bedding. Traditional cotton is grown with the use of pesticides and treated with formaldehyde to make them soften. Organic cotton, on the other hand, is pesticide-free, and bamboo is a fast-growing renewable resource that equally soft and luxurious.

One of the easiest ways to make difference in the environment is with lighting. It’s a quick fix to switch out all incandescent light bulbs in your condo with compact fluorescent bulbs or LEDs (light-emitting diodes). These energy-saving bulbs have comparable light output to the old incandescent lights, but last longer and cost less over the life of the bulb. Another energy-saver for Singer Island condos is programmable thermostats. If you’re away from home a great deal, these thermostats can help save on energy costs, and are easy to manage for both air conditioning and heat usage.

To help condo owners breathe easier, LEED-certified filters for air conditioners can help trap microscopic particles of dust and other allergens. These filters are also great at reducing dander and fur from pets, and greatly improve indoor air quality in condos.

There’s never been a better time to “go green” at your Singer Island condo. Homeowners no longer need to choose between green and beautiful. There’s much more of range of products, especially for high-end design, and best of all installation is just as easy as traditional products.
