Remodeling Your Kitchen

Reducing your own carbon footprint while still allowing for a beautiful kitchen remodel, it sounds like a dream – but it is possible with these ecofriendly ideas. If you are interested in learning more about the different options, the different sustainable materials and the importance of going with the right option, we have all that and more.

Popular eco-friendly countertops for your kitchen

Each industry is seeing an increase in the demand of ecofriendly products, so it should be no surprise that ecofriendly countertops are also gaining popularity. If you want to renovate your current countertops or want to install new ones, you can choose to have ecofriendly ones installed. These are a few of the best options:

  • Concrete – While we know concrete in the construction industry, it is a relatively new countertop material. It is possible to get a number of different colors with dye, it is sustainable, and you can give it a smooth finish by having it polished.
  • Bamboo – Considering that bamboo is a quick, renewable source, and when you compare it with many hardwoods, it is far stronger and harder. Even though bamboo might be slightly more expensive than hardwood, you do have to look at the benefits, both from an aesthetic perspective and from an ecological standpoint.
  • Paper stone –The most recycled paper countertop material is paper stone and it is made from petroleum-free post-consumer recycled paper, pigments, and resin. The only drawback is that it is not quite as fire resistant as some of the other options.

Get woven bamboo flooring

When it comes to bamboo in your kitchen, there are different types that you can purchase. Many of them have different properties and characteristics. While strand woven bamboo can periodically be refinished and re-sanded, engineered bamboo is water-resistant and the most durable. Even though natural bamboo would not last very long in a kitchen environment, finished bamboo is going to be one of the more durable options that you have available.

Fluorescent lighting in the kitchen

Reduce the amount of energy you need to light your kitchen and make sure that you cause no additional pollution – that is the message behind using fluorescent lighting in the kitchen. With some of the incredible advances that we have seen here in the last few years, this should be a top option for most people who want an eco-kitchen.

Doing the job right

If you are going to remodel your kitchen or build an entirely new one, remember that your plumbing system is ultimately one of the most important factors that few people think about. If you have issues with your plumbing later on, you will have to redo your entire kitchen, at great expense. If you want to avoid those problems and make sure that you have years of problem-free plumbing, hire a qualified company like Dr.Pipe Drain and Plumbing Services to avoid those issues.
