Ishishini lokuhombisa ikhaya lixhomekeke ekukhetheni izinto kunye nokusetyenziswa. Iimathiriyeli ezahlukeneyo azichaphazeli kuphela ubuhle bemveliso kunye nokusebenza, kodwa zikwaphembelela ngokuthe ngqo ixabiso, ukuqina, kunye nokwamkelwa kwemarike. Kwicandelo lorhwebo lwamazwe ngamazwe, ukuqonda iimpawu zemathiriyeli yokuhombisa eqhelekileyo kunye nemeko yazo esebenzayo inceda iinkampani zichonge ngokuchanekileyo imfuno yemarike kunye nokwandisa ukukhuphisana kwemveliso.
Ukhuni sesona sixhobo siqhelekileyo kwaye sisetyenziswa kakhulu ekuhombiseni ikhaya, ukuquka umthi oqinileyo kunye{0}}neepaneli ezisekelwe kwiplanga (ezifana ne-density fiberboard kunye neplywood). Umthi oqinileyo uthandwa kwindawo ephezulu{2}}yemarike yokwakheka kwayo kwendalo kunye nokuvumelana nokusingqongileyo, ngelixa iipaneli zeplanga{3}}ezisekelwe kwixabiso eliphantsi kunye nokucutshungulwa ngokulula, zibambe indawo ebalulekileyo phakathi{4}} kunye ne{5}}ephantsi{5}}iimarike. Kurhwebo lwamazwe ngamazwe, iimarike zaseMntla Melika naseYurophu zineemfuno ezingqongqo zoqinisekiso lokusingqongileyo (ezifana ne-FSC kunye ne-EUTR), ngoko ke ababoneleli kufuneka baqinisekise ukuba iinkuni zifunyenwe ngokusemthethweni kwaye zihambelana nemigangatho yamazwe ngamazwe.
Iimathiriyeli zesinyithi, njengentsimbi engatyiwa, ialuminiyam, kunye nentsimbi ekhandiweyo, zihlala zisetyenziswa kwizinto zangoku, ezincinci, okanye kushishino{0}}ukuhombisa ikhaya. Ukomelela kwesinyithi, ukuqina, kunye nokucocwa lula kuyenza ifaneleke kwiifreyimu zefanitshala, ukukhanya, kunye nokuhombisa. Kwiminyaka yakutshanje, unyango olungaphezulu olufana nokufakwa kwe-chrome kunye nokugqitywa kwe-matte kuye kwaphucula i-aesthetics yokuhombisa isinyithi, nto leyo eyenza ukuba idume kwiimarike zaseYurophu, eMelika, eJapan naseKorea.
Iglasi kunye neekeramics zisetyenziswa ikakhulu kwiimveliso zasekhaya ezihombise kakhulu, ezinje ngeevasi, izixhobo zetafile, kunye neziqwenga zobugcisa. Ukucaca kweGlasi kunye nobuhle bale mihla buyenza ibe lukhetho oludumileyo kwizitayile zeNordic, ngelixa iiseramikhi, ezinentsingiselo yazo yenkcubeko kunye nobugcisa, zifunwa kakhulu kuMbindi Mpuma kunye neemarike zaseMazantsi-mpuma eAsia.
Ukongeza, iifenitshala ezithambileyo ezifana nelaphu, isikhumba, kunye nerattan zichaphazela ngqo intuthuzelo kunye nesimbo sendlu. Ilaphu kunye nesikhumba zisetyenziswa ngokuqhelekileyo kwiisofa, iikhethini, kunye nezinye izinto, ngelixa i-rattan, ngenxa yeempawu zayo zendalo kunye nokusingqongileyo, iqhuba kakuhle kwiimarike zetropiki.
Kwimarike yorhwebo lwamazwe ngamazwe, ukhetho lwemathiriyeli kufuneka lusekelwe kwimikhwa yomthengi wemarike ekujoliswe kuyo, imigaqo yokusingqongileyo, kunye nefashoni. Ababoneleli kufuneka bagxininise kwizicelo zemathiriyeli eziqalayo, ezifana nemathiriyeli ezinzileyo kunye nobuchwepheshe bonyango lomphezulu obukrelekrele, ukuhlangabezana neemfuno ezimbini zabathengi behlabathi kumgangatho kunye nobuhle.
