Keystone Custom Homes wants to save its customers money
while saving the environment. By offering Energy/Plus homebuilding products,
Keystone is able to achieve this goal.
Energy/Plus homes are built with specific energy saving
products. Low Emittance (Low-E) window coating reflects heat and blocks UV
rays. Besides saving money on heating costs, this coating will save the life of
furniture, paint, flooring, fabrics and anything that is susceptible to being
faded by sunlight. In addition, UV light is bad for skin, so by blocking these
rays, this coating is saving homeowners’ health.
Other energy saving building practices include concrete
flooring with vapor barriers and drainage systems to reduce moisture and mold;
well-sealed ductwork joints and connectors to minimize air leakage; and
“super-sealed” wood-to-wood joints in the shell of the home to keep out
excessive drafts.
Another energy and cost saving tool used by Keystone Custom
Homes is programmable thermostats. These devices can be programmed to your
family’s schedule in an attempt to reduce energy when no one is home. New homes
in Lancaster, PA include custom heating, ventilation and air conditioning
systems designed for maximum comfort.
Finally, Keystone uses a recycled drywall product and vinyl
siding in innovative ways. Since these homes are custom built, roof trusses are
designed specifically for each home in an effort to save materials and reduce
waste. Other pre-cut building materials include engineered floor joists, which are resistant to weather-related wear
and tear.

homes provide or for more Lancaster new homes, visit www.keystonecustomhome.com.
