Pacific Cedar Homes believes in creating beautiful custom homes while implementing sustainable design and building practices that help protect and preserve the environment. We're often asked if Lindal custom homes are "green" or eco-friendly. The truth is, Lindal Cedar Homes has always been a leader in sustainable design practices- long before it became a fad.
Because Lindal custom homes are individually tailored to your lifestyle, you have control over how "green" your Lindal home can be. If you're considering a custom home build with an environmentally conscious approach, there are a multitude of eco-friendly features and building practices that can be implemented. Increasing energy efficiency with solar power, optimizing natural light sources with sunrooms and skywalls, improving indoor air quality with low-VOC and low-toxic paints and finishes, and using recycled and eco-friendly building materials are just a few of the many options available to you. For a detailed list of eco-friendly features for your home, we recommend the U.S. Green Building Council's Green Home Checklist.
