Not surprisingly, stone slab is a naturally green countertop material. It's moisture resistant, lasts a lifetime, is very sanitary, and releases almost no harmful byproducts into your indoor air. In other words, you're already going green by choosing a solid slab countertop in the first place. There are steps you can take to make your stone slab countertops even greener, however. Here's what you need to know about stone slab countertops if going green is on your radar.
Which Shade of Green is Right for You? While thinking green when it comes to stone slab countertops is a smart choice for your pocketbook, your health, and the environment, it's not unusual for homeowners to feel a little overwhelmed when presented with the full scope of green remodeling options. If you're feeling unsure about how green you're willing to go with your stone slab countertops, there's no need to worry — going green isn't an all-or-nothing proposition. Any step you take in a green direction is a smart one, whether you search a local stone provider, use recycled materials like remnant stone or reclaimed stone tile instead of purchasing a brand new slab, or green your countertops from top to bottom.
If you do think green is the right choice for your stone slab countertops, talk with your contractor about adopting a green remodeling philosophy, find a contractor who specializes in green building and remodeling, or seek out the services of a green consulting firm so that you can be sure your new stone countertop ends up being as green as they come.
