When we undertook the remodel of the old building in 2004, our goal was to create a healthy environment for our team as well as our dental patients. So, we considered the many choices and came up with some of the things that were important to us all.
Much of our buildings interior was painted with Auro Natural Paint. It is made with organic ingredients from sustainable plant and mineral sources, and without the use of petrochemicals or chemical preservatives. It’s a great product that has almost no odor even after a new application.
For our flooring, we chose Marmoleum and Bamboo (with a water based clear finish).
Our interior lighting is exceptional! Actually, it’s mostly from the sun. We have a dozen Solatubes throughout the space that provide us with natural light. So, we need less interior lighting throughout our workday.
We also chose to run a solar photovoltaic system on our roof. It is a 10 kilowatt system that handles most of our electric needs.
Here are website links to the items we really liked. They are all integrated into our design.
