Industry Trends - Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Cabinetry

05.06.2010

Like most industries, turning the focus toward green kitchens and baths is the current trend. Interior designers, manufacturers and consumers are all looking for ways to reduce harmful fumes and stylize with a green focus. Sustainable cabinetry refers not only to the most eco-friendly products on the market, but also to products that will endure long after others like them need to be replaced. Combining the highest quality eco-minded construction for their pioneering designs, Neff of Chicago has a long history of green-minded construction for their products and, as always, has been an innovator in the realm of green building even before it became the latest buzz word in home décor.

From the very first stage of construction, the luxury cabinetry built by Neff of Chicago is a trendsetter in the industry with extra care taken to find the most durable steel dowel fasteners as well as marine-quality plywood made from phenol-based resin. What does that mean for the consumer? Durable cabinet frames that remove the harmful formaldehyde fumes that could be released into the home. Marine-quality plywood will withstand the highest temperatures and air-humidity, and will not warp.

All Neff products are compliant with the stringent California Air Resources Board regulations for removal of formaldehyde in engineered woods. Neff of Chicago paint in their Quality Controlled factory to maintain the highest level of Quality Control to met the toughest consumer standards of satisfaction. Most others paint in your home which is reliant of each and every different painter (No Quality Control) and there is off-gassing for months, which is very unhealthy.

It is this dedication to the most sustainable deluxe cabinetry on the market that puts Neff of Chicago at the pinnacle of the industry’s recent focus on green living. Their long history with the most durable and formaldehyde-free construction shows their continued dedication to their industry, their clients and the global community.
