When purchasing green cabinetry for your home there are three main areas to consider:
1. Finishes:
This is the pivotal factor in determining if the cabinet you choose is green enough for you and your home. Water-based finishes are the safest and environmentally the cleanest finishes available. The entire finishing process is CARB compliant and low VOC, including all paints, stains, glazes and topcoats, making sure this is also the case when surface seals are broken by scratches or screwing in hardware. Our finishes are the greenest and most environmentally friendly finishes in the industry.
2. Box/Case Material:
The core concern about the case material is the type and amount of formaldehyde (VOC) used. There are two types: urea, a high-emission formaldehyde and phenol, which is a low-emission formaldehyde. PureBond and Uniboard are the leaders in manufacturing low/zero-VOC plywood and particleboard sheets.
3. Hardware:
Environmentally friendly hardware and drawer slides should be 100% recyclable and made completely of metal and polymers with no plastic components.
This being said you do not have to compromise the durability or functionality of the convenient soft close of your doors and drawers.

Please Remember:
You should never have to sacrifice style, functionality or durability for the safety and health of your family when choosing cabinetry for your home.
