Necessary Elements of a Green Bathroom
Environmentally Friendly, sustainable Green building materials combined with creative, aesthetically pleasing ecological design are the cutting green edge way to implement sound health and hygiene practices, ensuring that clean water, clean air and healthy habitat are a central theme of your bathroom remodel.
- For vanities and cabinets seek out sustainable harvested woods, renewable materials like bamboo, wheat straw, or sunflower plants bound with resins free of volatile organic compounds.
- Countertops should incorporate green products such as EnviroGLAS® Terrazzo which can contribute 7 or more US Green Building Council LEED® points of the 69 total available, while making a beautiful addition to any contemporary green bathroom renovation.
- For an updated green version of a old classic, consider recycled glass, ceramic or porcelain tiles which are available in every color and hue imaginable.
- Older toilets use up to 5 gallons per flush (GPF), Dual-flush models such as the Profile™ Toilet Suite greatly reduces water usage, preserving this valuable natural resource.
- Adequate ventilation makes for a healthier bathroom. Operable windows and good ventilation keep fresh air circulating through the space.
- Longevity is central to sustainability. A well designed bathroom means less maintenance, fewer repairs and can postpone costly remodels.
