| Promoting Green Building
Using materials to build a home that meets code is easy. Using materials that make a home healthier, better in value, comfort and more energy efficient is the Flynner Home way. A Flynner Home is simply, better. And that’s comforting.
Green building is the practice of increasing the efficiency with which homes and their sites use and harvest energy, water, and materials, and reducing building impacts on human health and the environment, through better design, construction, operation and maintenance — the complete building life cycle.
The materials used in a Flynner Home reflect this phylosophy. We make it our own by using Energy Star products, all natural floor coverings and concrete-fiber siding to name just a few. And all this in a beautiful home, the way homes used to be built. See for yourself!

Marmoleum® has been a mainstay floor covering for over 100 years because it is one of the few products made from primarily natural raw materials. It is made up of natural linseed oil, rosins and wood flour, calendered onto a natural jute backing. It is a tough yet visually striking floor covering, highly resistant to heavy rolling loads and foot traffic. Because Marmoleum® is a natural organic product, its performance is enhanced by time, as exposure to air serves to harden and increase its durability. It has a 25 year warranty and is a green product used by Flynner Homes.
HardiePlank™ lap siding is the most popular brand of siding in America and can be found on millions of U.S. homes.

It comes in a variety of looks and textures, which provide an excellent painting surface. HardiePlank™ lap siding comes with a 50-year transferable limited warranty honored by Flynner Homes.
