5 Tips for a Greener Kitchen
Sustainability is a hot word right now, and it will continue to be, probably for a long time. Energy efficiency and low cost ecological stability are becoming increasingly important in today’s kitchen market. Here are the top 5 ways to have a green kitchen.
1. Recycling Area: Having plastic bins in your kitchen is a great way to make recycling easy.
2. Fast Flooring: Wooden floors made from faster growing eucalyptus, bamboo, and cork look just as good – if not better – than other hardwoods which take up to twice the amount of time to grow.
3. Energy Efficient Windows: New skylights or windows can make a huge difference both in the aesthetic feel of your kitchen and your energy bill. Allowing more natural light to enter means less artificial light, and with solar shading, your kitchen will be protected from years of the sun’s damaging effects.
4. And Appliances: Buying a new refrigerator or dishwasher can save you way more money in the long term if it is energy efficient and uses half the energy another appliance does.
5. Sustainable Cabinets: Wheatboard and strawboard low volatile organic compounds for your cabinets are well complemented with hardware knobs and pulls. Schaub hardware is an excellent brand of hardware knobs and pulls.
