Green Kitchen Designers by Performance Kitchens
There are few rooms in a home that deal with as much traffic as the kitchen so why not create a space that is not only durable but environmentally friendly.
Our Green Kitchen Designers can create a kitchen that not only reflects your style of kitchen but also represents your appreciation for the environment and saving money. Utilizing energy efficient appliances is just one way your Green Kitchen Designer can help you create a beautiful new kitchen without leaving a huge footprint. Another way your Green Kitchen Designer can help you have a green kitchen is with environmentally friendly materials for the countertops, cabinets, wall paints, wall paper, tiles, and floors.
Not to mention our Green Kitchen Designers will always suggest sinks that have garbage disposals and efficient water flow faucets. Even the materials for structure like wall studs can be environmentally friendly materials, coatings on drywall, insulation, and more.
Let’s cover the basics:
Green Kitchen Countertops
Every kitchen remodel needs a countertop but not every countertop is environmentally friendly. Our Green Kitchen Designers can explain the technical aspects of the materials but to summarize, most popular countertop materials are definitely not environmentally friendly. In fact, solid surface products are usually petroleum based and mining the materials themselves can damage natural landscapes in the process. There are materials available that are green from the beginning of products thru installation if you are really trying to be green.
Green Kitchen Cabinets
Homeowners’ favorite remodeling step is cabinets. Most stock cabinets are made from formaldehyde laced fiberboard or plywood. This is process is not environmentally friendly. A better alternative that our Green Kitchen Designers can suggest is using low-VOC materials. Also, consider using an easily renewable wood for veneers like bamboo. Although the increased popularity of bamboo could lead to a shortage of bamboo which may cause the price to go up.
