People want changes
The quality and functionality of the home have always been a priority for all of us, but the current situation changes even this. The home, where we spend as much time as never before, is becoming even more important today. “We see what questions emerge for newly inquiring people, also for clients, with whom we are in the initial project stages. They are concerned with what materials will be used, what traits they are known for, concerned with how the materials used will contribute to the health and wellbeing of them and their family. People begin to place more attention on terraces, take an interest in home saunas, plan workrooms or allocate space for work in other home spaces,” he explains.
Cedar Homes, in the construction of unique ecological homes, end to end project implementation. Namely, they developed with clients from the very first stages of home planning and continuing to full project implementation allows making suitable decisions at suitable times.
The company believes that the home is as if a living organism and all technical solutions and ecological materials. Due to the current situation, the company is not changing the principles of its operation. Environmental homes are notable for two key traits – they protect nature and the residents’ health. Materials used for construction are made from natural or processed raw materials such as wood fibre, gypsum fibre, hemp fibre, jute fibre, cellulose, clay and such. These materials contain no harmful elements, formaldehyde, they do not irritate the respiratory tract, allowing the home to “breathe” naturally and eliminate the possibility of mould developing. This is essential for individuals with allergies, also for everyone, who cares about their and their family’s health and wellbeing.
Concerns about the future are growing
The worldwide pandemic is sowing various concerns, with one of them being that in the future, we may have to combat various viruses ever more often. As such, in the face of Lockdown, people come to think about what a privilege it is becoming to own a house with one’s own garden, where it is safe for the children to play and you can grow your own vegetables. The consultant says that the company views the consequences of Lockdown optimistically and believes that the number of clients who believe in healthy lifestyles and understand the price of quality, will only expand.
“As we are the first builders of healthy homes in Lithuania, we can make the conclusion that people’s awareness has greatly increased. If 13 years ago, we had to work on convincing, why it is worth having a healthy home built, then now people reach out already aware that they want such a home. People have taken an interest in healthy solutions in home construction and seek out, who can implement it,” he said.
Cedar Homes are unafraid of any challenge – the team implements projects of various designs and looks while applying principles of healthy home construction. However, they emphasise that when building an ecological home, this must be in consideration already in the first stages of planning. Suitable materials must be chosen, as well as how they will interact because one hundred per cent material effectiveness demands mutual synergies.
While in the past few years, there have been visible changes, this year’s pandemic will likely bring even more changes into people’s expectations when creating their dream homes. “The ecological nature and quality of the materials used will become a priority, and people will realise that the home, where we spend most of our time, can be beneficial to the family’s health,” the Cedar Homes specialist noted.
