Low Maintenance and Longevity

When a building requires little or no maintenance that means it has been subject to little or no deterioration. If it barely deteriorates, it lasts a long time and still has reduced use of energy and resources.

Little Greenie has been designed so it hardly needs maintenance – or at least not for a long, long time. The windows may need washing every so often, but not much more. There are no internal gutters to clog and require roof removal; no multiple pitched roofs with valleys liable to one day flood. Likewise complicated angles, just asking to be part of a leaky house syndrome, have been avoided. Where it has been possible to keep away from a joint, this has been done.

Materials (like colour steel) have been chosen for their durability or placed appropriately (like the mud bricks), away from the weather. There will be no painting required or resealing needed and only the very best quality has been used throughout.
