Greener Kitchens loves 'Good Wood'

Kitchens are made of wood.

Despite their often colourful, sleek and shiny exteriors kitchens likely contain the largest concentration of wood product in your home after your framing and your flooring. It seems there is rarely a thought for where this wood comes from. Are you destroying one world to build yours?

Kitchens should be made of 'Good Wood'

Greenpeace are helping us to make responsible choices when it comes to timber products through their 'Good Wood Guide'. It is a wonderful guide that identifies timber products that are responsible and reminds us that as consumers we have the power to save the world's forests and endangered wildlife and put an end to illegal forestry practices. It gently awakens us to the damage we might be responsible for if we do not source 'Good Wood' for our kitchens.

The good news is that Greener Kitchens can help you to create a 'Good Wood' Kitchen. We are very excited to be able to specify a kitchen made entirely from timber product that is defined as the 'best option' by the 'Good Wood' guide. A 'Good Wood' kitchen need not cost the earth (to use a well worn pun), or look any different to the kitchen of you are already thinking about.

Greener Kitchens can help you create your world without destroying another, which is a pretty good thing we think. So if you are thinking about a new kitchen, please contact us to find out how you can make a difference and be part of the solution, not the problem.
