Why Should You Live in a Tiny Home?
Having a tiny home means you have a smaller impact on the environment. With a small home, you can use a composting toilet, rainwater catchment and even solar or wind power as a source of electricity. Even if some tiny homeowners prefer to receive water and electricity from the city’s main supply, their utility bills will not be anywhere near the cost of an average New Zealand home.
Downsizing and having a smaller carbon footprint helps you save money. This means you can improve the choice of materials, fittings or finishes of your home. After living in your tiny home for a longer period, the money you save can be used on renovation.
What are Tiny Homes Made of?
Many tiny homes in New Zealand are made of high-grade plywood. One of the best types is Russian birch plywood. Joiners and designers recommend Russian birch for its quality and multi-ply edge grain. It has a smooth surface, is robust and resistant to splitting, and has a good holding capacity when screwed or nailed. It is ideal for residential construction projects that require a strong, weather resistant material.
