Buying new cabinets that experts judge that they are truly “green” and have a limited soda is more difficult than people think.
The popular book Freakonomics He showed us that the cause and effect can be quite different from what could be expected. This counterproductive reality is applied to the cabinet industry and to the design and sale of new kitchen cabinets. Particularly for green and sustainable kitchens
Many owners are concerned about gases outside the products to which they are exposed. An American citizen is exposed to toxins of products that we buy and the food and drinks we eat. New cars, carpets, paint, furniture and cabinets that we buy, all out of gas and emit volatile organic compounds of vow. The more research you do a Googler to find cabinets with low voc, the more likely you will have to buy the opposite.
This is due to several factors:
- In 2018, the federal government essentially applied the strict standards of California Carb2 for the exit expenditure to the entire cabinet industry. See link.
- Unfortunately, there is no rating cabinet of impartial origin in the gas beyond the EPA.
- Cabinet brands that announce and promote their sustainable and environmentally safe properties have no documentation that shows any of their vague statements. This dishonest sales approach and lack of transparency make these brands probably out of gas to be more and no less.
For example, many of the cabinet brands that claim to be green or sustainable promote their lack of waste in manufacturing cabinets.
This is because they use particle board to make their cabinets. All sawdust and waste returns to the product. Unfortunately, the particle board and the MDF board have the highest gas levels, they can be less durable and are the most toxic way of making cabinets.
Many brands announce that because they are 100% manufactured, they have no “Chinese” wood product. They claim that this makes them more reliable and less likely to be gas. This statement tries to capitalize on the Asian floor, and the plaster panels have been scared for a decade. The reality is that all cabinet brands need to meet the same standard.
Marks with imported cabinet doors, fronts and sides are delivering cabinets made of parts made several months before.
These pieces travel around the world before assembling in US plants. And long before being delivered to a client’s house. Most gases are carried out in the first months after the pieces of the cabinet are manufactured and painted. Many of these less expensive brands are using imported parts that are actually at the lower end of the deactivation spectrum.
On the contrary, all kitchen designers know that the most expensive cabinets we sell are the cabinets that are being customized. These faces are sent only a few days after everything dries. The only way to reduce soda out of storing cabinets for a month or two before installing. For those who want more details on this subject, read this blog.
For anyone who wants to minimize their environmental footprint and create a green and sustainable kitchen, it is important to buy quality cabinets that last. The most important thing is to buy a well -designed kitchen that has no space for design improvements. Expert cooking designers are needed to create the designs that pass the last generations.
A kitchen designed by the owner or anyone less knowledgeable almost ensures that the next buyer of the house will start everything and start from scratch.
Possibly once again buying bad cabinets made with a new, equally lower design. Many of the designs and sales of Kitchens MLKD were renewed by fins and silly builders just before the sale. These myopa vendors believe that the house was sold due to their poor quality renovations and not despite them.
I always advise people to stop searching for cabinet brands and, instead, Google cooking designers and cabinet distributors. Find an excellent cabinet distributor and an experienced kitchen designer with their best interests in the heart. They will help you navigate all the missing information about the cabinets on the web. If you look good, you will get quality and functional kitchen that will last a lifetime.
So, look well and take your time making the right decisions for you. . .
And of course. . .
Enjoy!
