Environmentally Friendly Kitchen Countertops
The kitchen remodeling industry is taking note of the whole “Going “Green” trend and making more home owners aware of environmentally friendly options to remodel their kitchens. Kitchen countertops have probably the most eco-friendly material options out of all the other kitchen components. Popular “green” choices include the following:
Laminate – eco-friendly laminate means non-toxic glue was used to adhere a recycled plastic sheet to a formaldehyde-free substrate. Laminate is the most economical out of all kitchen countertops so it may be a more budget-friendly way to go green in your kitchen.
Stainless Steel – stainless steel counters are normally found in commercial kitchens but now they are becoming more popular in homes. Durable and easy to clean, they can contain high recycled content and can be recycled for another counter remodeling project.
Ceramic and Porcelain Tiles – made from clay, ceramic and porcelain tile is durable and can contain highly recycled content. You can also avoid waste because you are reusing existing materials.
