Comments (5)What at a fantastic find Rebecca. I also have a cork floor, and have found it faultless....even though it will be replaced. I'm not sure why it is so overlooked, as I'm doing the same despite knowing its benefits firsthand?? it needs to be featured across design, maybe it's just not marketed, designers are doing themselves a dis-service, but perhaps it needs a marketing shake up. I vote yes for cork. ML DESIGN...See MorePeople in glass houses...energy efficiency anyone?
Comments (13)In the UK for example they use a lot of roof windows but these are usually double or triple glazed, super insulated walls and roof's, etc. Mainly due to lacking good natural light they need these large glazed area's. They're thermal efficiency standards are a bit higher than ours as well. In Sydney we have cool winter's but certainly nothing like the UK. We have almost the opposite issue of heat. Therefore roof windows are not really a great idea. I'd almost say heating a house in winter is the least of your worries, for a couple months anyway. Cooling it for summer however... Double glazing is still not on everyones list of improving their homes. Sparkles and glitter is but not many care about the efficiency of their home.... If you add large windows or doors specific double glazing as a minimum. Use thermally broken aluminium frames or timber. PVC is slowly becoming popular. If you can insulate walls, floors and ceilings, replace existing windows and doors with double glazed this will go a long way to improving the home. An air-conditioned home or one that uses just ceiling fans can be very efficient once insulated....See MoreAussie Shepherd
