GREEN IS NOT BLACK & WHITE


It’s time to throw out the term “green” and get to the why behind it …

 

Families want to know the home they live in is not only functional and beautiful, but beneficial to their health and the environment as well.  It’s no wonder green products and awareness have exploded in the last two years – people want to live sustainably, minimizing their impact on the environment and themselves.

epOxyGreen and its sustainable LEED-certified building partner Evergreen Design Build can assist you in the pursuit of a healthful home ...

·       Interior Air Quality:  The air you breathe indoors is often ten times more toxic than what you inhale outside.  epOxyGreen products promote a non-toxic environment, from our radon-free selection of counter tops, to our formaldehyde and fiberglass-free recycled cotton and cellulose insulation; to its our oxygenating clay wall finishes.

·       Energy Efficiency – Wouldn’t it be nice to save money on your utility bills while harnessing natural resources to help power your lifestyle?  We can assist you in choosing the right solar panels to reduce your electrical bills; provide customers with the proper insulation, windows, and operable skylights that will keep you cool in the summer and toasty in the winter; offer you tankless heaters and demand pumps that will reduce gas consumption; and bring you cutting-edge LED lighting to reduce lighting energy loads by up to 75% with bulbs that can last 20 years or longer.

·       Water Efficiency – California is in a perpetual state of drought, and let’s face it, there is a huge cost to the life cycle of water generation and use.  A greywater system, demand hot water delivery, low flow toilets and aerators, and drip irrigation will all contribute to water savings … which saves you money and keeps more treated water out of our ocean.

·       Responsible Materials – We are stewards for our families as well as the planet, and your children and pets are most sacred.  This makes your home the most important investment you make, not only financially but for the well-being of your family.   We can help you outfit your home using recycled and non-toxic finishes -- engineered, designed and built to promote natural light and efficiency.

You’ve heard of conspicuous consumption, now you can enjoy conscious consumption … in an era of “less is more” you can have your long shower and water your yard, too -- at the same time!  epOxyGreen and Evergreen Design Build can help you build or remodel your home so you can live in conscientious style in a sustainable manner.

 

 COME VISIT THE NEW EPOXYGREEN FLAGSHIP STORE, A SHOWCASE OF GREEN PRODUCTS AND SOLUTIONS TO PROMOTE A HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE, A LOWER CARBON FOOTPRINT, AND MINIMIZED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT.

When We Say We Offer Green Design At Three Levels We're Not Kidding

The brand-spanking new epOxyGreen flagship showroom features three levels of green building products and interior design finishes, priced to match any budget.  And our unique three-tiered pricing system mirrors the three-floor view of our new digs, as seen from the top floor during construction.
Green at any level ...

Just one more thing to look for when we debut our environmentally-friendly space and all that it offers on September 24th!

Hope you enjoyed the sneak peek, and be sure to come check out our space after we've settled in.
