Eco-friendly Countertops…Consider This…
If you are thinking about having eco-friendly countertops installed in your
home, as with any home improvement project, it’s best to do your homework
and weigh all of the options. Here are some things to consider…
Durability
If longevity is important,, choose a material for your eco-friendly
countertops that is appropriate for the area in which it will be used. Many
eco-friendly surfaces are heat and stain resistant, but be sure to find out
what the appropriate maintenance guidelines are for the specific material
you choose.
The Green Factor
 Although
some materials may be called eco-friendly, the process
by which they are manufactured
may not be. To ensure
a product's true "greenness", find out about the manufacturer's
LEED certification. LEED (Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design) is a certification program developed by the United
States Green Building Council. The program rates construction companies and
products based on certain ecological standards. A LEED rating focuses on
five areas including human and environmental health, sustainable site
development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and
indoor environmental quality.
All of the eco-friendly countertop manufacturers that Express Countertops
