So you have decided to redo your kitchen and make it eco friendly. You are looking for just the right countertops to fit into your kitchen dcor. There are a tremendous amount of options available. Most are made with recycled glass. Let's look at the options available.
Recycled tiles that are broken up and mixed in with resins or cements are also a good option. These eco friendly countertops can be very beautiful and practical. They save the environment and add beauty to your kitchen. All of the materials used to make these countertops are eco friendly, from the resins, cements, and glues. The whole purpose is to make safe, usable, and nice looking countertops that will spare the environment of any further damage. The glass countertops can be made in different styles, colors, hues, and they are very sturdy. They are easy to clean, heat resistant, and stain resistant. The glass is recycled from old bottles, china, and other glass sources. Much of it is found in waste water streams.
Bamboo is a great option to replace wood countertops because once you cut bamboo it can be replanted and will quickly grow back unlike wood from trees. Bamboo is sturdy, and has a Polynesian put over it to give heat protection and stain resistance qualities to this countertop.
Believe it or not recycled paper is used in eco friendly countertops. It is mixed into a resin base. It can be chosen in many different colors and hues. This is heat and stain resistant just as you would expect from any counter surface. The paper comes from recycled paper that is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. There are no petroleum or formaldehyde resins used in this process. Many are made from cashew nut shell liquid.
Another great option is recycled wood. Butcher block counters, some from recycled lumber, others from beautiful but not as well known tree types that have not been harvested as much as the other more common types of trees. Butcher blocks can be crafted from thin lengths or end grain blocks of wood. Using recycled wood decreases the need to cut down new trees. The recycled old lumber frequently has tighter grain and a superior quality. Tree species that are under used can increase the variety of grain and color options, and offer a higher quality of lumber that comes from managed forests.
Aluminum is another material that is recycled and used to make eco friendly countertops. They are sturdy and beautiful. They are great for the newer appliances that are put into eco friendly kitchens as the appliances are often made of the same materials.
These are all great choices for you to consider. Check out each kind that you are interested in and make your kitchen eco friendly. - 15615
