When designing homes that are both beautiful and environmentally responsible, the choice of cabinetry plays a pivotal role. At HomeSource Design Center, we take pride in helping our clients create dream homes customized specifically for them, especially when it comes to supporting sustainability. This is why we are excited to feature one of our longtime vendors, Wellborn Cabinetry, a brand renowned for its environmental stewardship and quality craftsmanship. As a proud Green Choice manufacturer, Wellborn offers homeowners a pathway to sustainable living without compromising on style or quality.

Making Sustainable Choices in Your Remodel

When embarking on a kitchen or bath remodel, selecting environmentally friendly materials is key to creating a sustainable space. Here are some tips for how to make eco-conscious decisions in your next remodel:

Choose Sustainable Materials

Opt for cabinets crafted from sustainable materials. From their materials sourcing to manufacturing processes, Wellborn Cabinetry prioritizes sustainability at every step. One of the standout aspects of their approach is their reliance on sustainable forestry practices. They ensure that the wood used in their cabinets comes from responsibly managed forests, promoting biodiversity and long-term forest health.

Select Low-Impact, Durable Finishes

Wellborn offers a range of durable finishes that not only enhance the beauty of your cabinets but also extend their lifespan. Utilizing water-based stains and coatings, Wellborn significantly reduces volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. By opting for these finishes, homeowners can breathe easy knowing that their indoor air quality is safeguarded while minimizing their carbon footprint. Choosing finishes that withstand wear and tear reduces the need for frequent replacements, further minimizing environmental impact.

Support Local Production

By supporting domestic manufacturing, homeowners contribute to the growth of local economies and promote job creation within their communities. With all manufacturing operations based in the USA, Wellborn prioritizes local production, reducing the carbon emissions associated with transportation. Wellborn's Green Choice Program not only offers environmentally friendly products but also fosters a sense of community and support for American craftsmanship.

Embrace Energy-Efficient Features

Consider incorporating energy-efficient appliances and lighting into your remodel to complement your sustainable cabinets. Your lower emissions will work in tandem with Wellborn's, which has reduced boiler air emissions 50% lower than required by state and EPA regulations and saves approximately 300,000 (MCF) cubic feet of natural gas annually, a nonrenewable resource.

Dispose Responsibly

When removing old cabinets or materials during your remodel, explore recycling or donation options to minimize waste sent to landfills. Wellborn Cabinetry takes significant steps to minimize waste in its manufacturing processes by utilizing advanced technologies to maximize material usage and reduce scrap, minimizing its environmental footprint while maintaining product quality.

At HomeSource Design Center, we understand the significance of making sustainable choices in every aspect of your remodel. With our incredible selection of industry-leading brands, such as Wellborn Cabinetry, you can elevate your kitchen or bath while also prioritizing environmental responsibility.
