At Cast Sustainable Construction, we believe that a healthy building is a cornerstone of a healthy life. We go beyond conventional building practices to select and implement materials that prioritize the well-being of the people who live and work in the spaces we build. Our commitment is to create a home environment free from harmful chemicals, supporting the long-term health of your family and the planet.
Protecting Your Family from Indoor Pollutants
The materials used in construction can significantly impact indoor air quality. With modern buildings becoming more airtight, it is crucial to proactively select products that do not off-gas harmful chemicals. Traditional building products often contain a cocktail of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other toxins that can have a serious impact on human health. Our team is expert in identifying and avoiding these products to ensure your home’s air quality is pristine.
Our Healthy Building Approach
Our commitment to healthy building is a standard practice, not an upgrade. We implement rigorous material selection and advanced building strategies to create healthier, safer environments.
- Material Transparency & Vetting: We prioritize transparent material sourcing, using products with verified health and environmental declarations. We avoid chemically treated, processed, and synthetic materials wherever possible.
- Superior Building Assemblies: Our Passive House and airtight construction techniques prevent moisture accumulation, effectively eliminating the risk of mold growth within the building envelope.
- Non-Toxic Finishes: For all interior painting and finishing, we exclusively use zero or low-VOC primers and paints. We also specify solid wood millwork and trims instead of chemical-laden composites like MDF.
- Expert Installation: We ensure best-practice installation procedures to minimize contamination during construction and use products like magnesium oxide board (MgO) as a superior, healthier alternative to standard drywall.
Minimizing Environmental Contaminants
While it may be impossible to create a 100% sterile environment, our goal is to minimize harmful materials in your home. From utilizing natural fiber materials for carpeting to selecting PVC-free wiring, we take every precaution to significantly reduce your family’s exposure to potential contaminants. By making conscientious material choices, we create a truly win-win situation—a healthier living space and a smaller ecological footprint.
