	<description>Imber Akse House is the realization of our dream home. A burlington LEED home that looks at living, sustainability and urbanism in a holistic perspective. We've designed this site to engage as many people in the process of designing and building our sustainable home as possible — so that we might encourage others to take the same steps toward positive change and get there with a little more ease.</description>

In our last home we used sinks and a shower base from <a href="http://www.wetstyle.ca" target="_blank">WetStyle</a> out of Montreal that we discovered at a design show and have been hooked on ever since. Beautifully quiet styling that is an instant classic. Oh yah, the sustainable part:</p>
<p>+ timeless design and quality means enduring<br />
+ wear resistant and repairable surfaces provide longevity<br />
+ truly <a href="http://imberaksehouse.ca/resources/" target="_self">recyclable</a> or <a href="http://imberaksehouse.ca/resources/" target="_self">cross-cyclable</a> material &#8211; <a href="http://www.wetstyle.ca/en/wetmar.html" target="_blank">WETMAR</a><br />
+ domestically made</p>
<p>Our experience with the product is that it holds heat well &#8211; it&#8217;s warm to the touch like a wood rather than porcelain or metal surfaces making it a very comfortable. Apparently WetStyle claims the material is a great insulator and holds water to temperature longer than other materials.</p>
<p>An important factor in the decision for us is the domestic story. This product was designed and developed in Canada and is still manufactured here. This means not only 2 weeks delivery from a close locality &#8211; it means a sustainable industry that supports our economy, maintaining a sound and responsible relationship with domestic labour at dollars that are relative to our standard of living. Idealistic understanding our dependency on foreign imports of style but a great start at regaining control over our economy.</p>
