Green Cabinets in Denver

Wedgewood offers a true green product because we want more than just our cabinets to last.
European cabinets use less wood material overall due to the absence of a face frame.

Cabinet Parts

• Encore Particleboard is a pre-consumer recycled wood fiber particleboard that has no Urea Formaldehyde added.

Cabinet Doors & Drawer Fronts

• The most environmentally conscious choice here is to use a recycled or reclaimed lumber such as a barn wood.
• Our wood veneer doors use a substrate with no added urea-formaldehyde.
• Rapidly renewable products such as bamboo or lyptus are great options as they have a harvest cycle of less than 10 years and are grown in highly productive plantations using sustainable forestry practices.
• Another viable option is to use domestic hardwoods (Cherry, Maple, Birch, Alder & Oak) these products are replanted in proportion to what is harvested creating no deforestation.
• Hardwood that is Forestry Stewardship Council Certified (FSC) is available on request.

Drawer Boxes

• Wedgewood drawer boxes are made from European Beech. Europe’s forests are increasing at 2 times the rate of North American Forests and are certified by the European Forestry Council as a sustainable product.
• These dovetail boxes are finished with a water based topcoat.

Finish

• Consider a less material-intensive natural finish to complement the natural characteristics inherent in your wood doors and fronts.
• Another solution is a water based topcoat with no HAP’s and traces of VOC’s. This water based finish is very light and opaque and would probably require a stain before the top coat.
