Welcome to Eco Smart Adaptions.

In a world increasingly conscious of the urgent need to combat global warming, environmentally friendly living practices in your house have become more vital than ever. As homeowners, our sustainable choices in home renovation can play a significant role in reducing our carbon footprint and preserving our planet for future generations.

If you’re looking for sustainable house ideas and want to renovate your home while doing your bit to help, use these eco friendly home improvements and mindful renovations tips we have for you. Practising sustainability at home not only enhances the comfort and style of your space but also contributes to small changes that can make a big difference for both your house and the planet.and winding one, but we're proud of what we've accomplished so far.

What is sustainable home renovation?

A sustainable home renovation involves adopting design practices and utilising materials that minimise environmental impact while improving the functionality and aesthetics of your living space. This approach encompasses a range of strategies, from energy-efficient upgrades to eco-friendly materials and construction techniques.

Incorporating eco-renovation principles into sustainable home improvement projects further enhances their environmental benefits. Eco renovation focuses on reducing the ecological footprint of renovations by utilising renewable resources, implanting energy-saving technologies, and incorporating recycled or reclaimed materials whenever possible.

Making small changes in your daily habits can have a significant impact on reducing your environmental footprint and promoting sustainability. Here are some eco-friendly practices you can adopt at home:

Replace traditional incandescent light bulbs with energy-efficient LED bulbs. LED bulbs consume less energy and last longer, reducing electricity bills and environmental impact.

Something as simple as turning off the tap while brushing your teeth or shaving will conserve water. As discussed above, low-flow taps and showerheads will further reduce your water consumption. If you want to prevent water wastage, you might need to fix that leaky tap you’ve been putting off.

Upgrading your thermostat and controls is a relatively simple yet highly effective way to improve the efficiency of your heating system and minimise energy consumption. Modern thermostats offer advanced features and capabilities that allow more precise control over your heating and cooling settings, resulting in optimised comfort and energy savings.

Upgrading single-glazed windows to double or triple-glazing can significantly improve insulation and thermal performance. These windows feature multiple layers of glass with insulating gas-filled space between them, effectively reducing heat transfer and enhancing energy efficiency.

Seal gaps and cracks around your floors, windows, doors and other openings with draught excluders, weather stripping or caulking to prevent draughts and improve thermal efficiency. As a simple yet effective solution, draught-proofing not only helps to maintain a consistent indoor temperature but also reduces energy bills by minimising the need for heating and cooling and ensuring an airtight building.By creating an airtight seal, draught-proofing prevents warm air from escaping during the winter months and keeps cool air inside during the summer, reducing the workload on your heating and cooling systems.

Consider using a chimney balloon to block off unused chimneys, further preventing heat loss and draughts and enhancing the effectiveness of your draught-proofing efforts.

SMALL Changes that can make a BIG Improvement on living a healthy lifestyle.

 Soft Healthy Skin 

New research has revealed the link between hard water and skin conditions like eczema. Scientists at the University of Sheffield and Kings College London have proved that hard water damages the skin raising the risk of infection and potentially contributing to the development of eczema.

The study proves that when it comes to skin conditions softened water can make all the difference. The installation of a water softener within a property acts to soften all the incoming water and alleviate the effect hard water has on the skin. With softened water products lather better, which means using significantly less with no nasty residues left on the skin. Softened water can benefit the whole family and make living with painful skin conditions much more comfortable.

• Remove up to 99.98% of impurities from UK mains water
• Reasonably priced - can save you thousandscompared with some alternatives
• Full, courteous support provided by experienced professionals
  
• Ideal for autoclaves / sterilisers
• Easy to install
  
• Demineralises / De-ionises for consistenthigh quality water
• Includes a TDS meter to measure water quality
• Will last for many years
• Replacement parts will always be easy to find

Traditionally Health Professionals have used distillers to purify their water. However these are expensive and have various disadvantages - not least the cost of electricity which can add up to hundreds of pounds a year.

Or you might be getting de-ionised water delivered. That can be cheaper. But there's the hassle of deliveries plus the admin time in paying the regular invoices etc.

Our preferred method for purifying your water is Reverse Osmosis (RO). This is a highly efficient way of purifying water which has become an increasingly popular solution for UK Practices.

RO is a relatively quick easy one time installation that requires no electricity and removes a wide range of contaminants from mains tap water.
