Surfaces
Choosing surfaces is one of the most exciting parts of any home renovation (or at least we’d like to think so). Whether you’re looking for countertops, cabinet fronts or wallpaper, here are some sustainable options to kick off that eco-friendly reno.
Engineered Quartz Countertops
If you’re looking for sturdy, longlasting countertops, check out the beautiful surfaces by Silestone, made of more than 90% natural quartz, one of the hardest and most durable materials for the kitchen. These countertops are naturally resistant to stains and scratches and come with up to 25 years of warranty for good measure. Plus, they’re crafted using recovered materials, recycled water and renewable energy, so you can rest assured your countertops have a minimal carbon footprint.
Nature-Inspired Laminates
Lamitak’s high-pressure laminates in the Intervention range come in lovely natural stone designs, realistic wood grains and gorgeous solid colours, all of them made using recycled materials. They’re certified with the Singapore Green Label, as well as the GREENGUARD and GREENGUARD Gold certifications for low toxic emissions, ensuring good air quality at home. Plus, they even qualify for the Singapore Building Construction Authority’s Green Mark programme.
