ITV This Morning Chose Eco Worktops

06.10.2010

I’m sure you’ll have been tuning into ITV This Morning to check out the lovely curvaceous Crème Lineaire kitchen.

So you may have noticed the beautiful worktops that compliment the range perfectly. Well, not only are they stylish but they are environmentally friendly!

The durable ECO worktops that This Morning selected are partly made from recycled consumer waste such as mirror, porcelain sinks, baths and tiles, and from industrial waste such as ash from power plants and stone scrap from quarries and workshops.

These products are bound together using an eco-friendly resin made from corn oil to create beautiful composite kitchen worktops. They come in 10 different colours and styles.

So, if you’re thinking about some new surfaces then definitely check out the latest eco-friendly trend!

Gary Neville Goes Green

29.01.2010

This week saw Gary Neville announce plans to build an £8 million zero carbon eco home in Harwood, Bolton.

At a whopping 8,000 sq ft, the modern home has six separate areas called ‘eat’, ‘relax’, ‘entertain’, ‘work’, ‘sleep’ and ‘play’.

The home will use energy produced from a wind turbine and also a ground source heat pump.

At the heart of the development will be a large central kitchen where Gary should think about using a Magnet eco worktop. These stylish and durable worktops are partly made from recycled consumer waste such as mirror, porcelain sinks, baths and tiles as well as industrial waste such as ash from power plants and stone scrap from quarries and worktops.

Using an eco-friendly resin, these waste products are bound together to create a range of beautiful composite worktops that are available in 10 different colours and styles including black forest and iron ore which would look great in any modern kitchen.

Society as a whole is becoming increasingly conscious about the environment and we are now seeing eco-products crossing in to all areas of life.
