Kitchen Design Firm Goes Green with Eco-Friendly Product Options for Creating Your Dream Green Kitchen

Signature kitchen & bath design's top vendors join the green trend.

Saratoga, CA (PRWEB) April 25, 2008

Going green or living green is making the headlines these days. From driving the latest hybrids to installing a geothermal heating and cooling system in their homes, many people are choosing to make the necessary lifestyle adjustments to become more energy-efficient. And going green - or at least living a little green - can even carry over into designing your dream kitchen.
Signature Kitchen & Bath Design, a Saratoga-based design firm, provides the latest in kitchen design trends, techniques and the highest quality products available in the marketplace today. Owner Patty Hayos and her staff of design experts have earned the reputation for creating kitchens that exceed customer expectations both in style and functionality.

"Going green seems to be an increasing trend in kitchen design," commented Patty Hayos. "Now, designers have more green options available to create not only a beautiful kitchen but one that is also environmental friendly. Our top vendors such as Omega Cabinetry, Richlite® and PaperStone™ offer a variety of eco-friendly product options to complement your dream kitchen."

Omega Cabinetry, a leader in all-wood cabinetry, has a variety of eco-friendly cabinet options and is certified by the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturer's Association (KCMA) in their Environmental Stewardship Program (ESP). This program grants certification to those manufacturers who meet a stringent set of environmental criteria. This criteria is based on promoting the sustainability of natural resources, reduce waste and environmental impacts. The KCMA ESP program provides kitchen cabinet manufacturers with a viable method to measure their environmental management practices against an industry standard.

Richlite's paper-based countertops provide an alternative to traditional granite, marble, quartz or ceramic tile. This type of countertop can be manufactured by using a combination of cellulose fiber and a resin. This combination is baked to produce a smooth hard surface similar to a hardwood. The paper used to manufacture this type of product is made from tree pulp, harvested from managed forests.

Another form of paper-based countertops manufactured by PaperStone™ is made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper and a water-based resin. Water-based resin is made from the poisonous skins of cashew nuts, not petroleum.

"We're proud of our relationships with these vendors as well as the opportunity to partner with them in creating a healthy environment for us all," added Hayos.

For green-conscious consumers, the decision to go green is not only good for the environment but also conducive to a healthier lifestyle of living. A well-designed, attractive green kitchen can breathe life into your home.
