Can Green Houses be the Next Vogue?

When remodeling for the first time, the possibilities are endless! Everything from floors, cabinets, and countertops; an overwhelming plethora of options awaits. Do not fret! These options are provided to ensure that your kitchen or bathroom is tailored to every precise detail. However, trying to stay eco-friendly is another challenge. Today, almost everyone speaks of high gasoline or global warming or green technology, so why not green remodeling as well? Products used in remodeling are not always manufactured in the most environmentally savvy manner. For example, companies like Caesarstone manufacture Counter tops and bathroom vanities in an eco-friendly environment and their products are considered “green”.

 For example,

• Using recycled materials
• Proper storage of waste materials
• Vacuum industrial dust to prevent air pollution
• Non-reactive products
• Nonporous surface prevents the formation of mold and bacteria
• Maintaining VOC (volatile organic compounds) standards to minimize toxic contamination
• Installing regenerative thermal oxide to improve the air quality in the manufacturing plant and environment
• recycling systems to save 97% of the water used in production
• Complying with international standards to ensure that non-toxic products are manufactured.

In deciding the style for care-free kitchen surfacing or bathroom vanities, many interior designers say that engineered countertops are the best value for both style and function. There are several advantages of using engineered counters — made from particles of granite, marble or other stone mixed with resin and pigments. They provide a uniform surface look, are as durable as the real thing, and come in a wider range of colors.
