Kitchen and bath sellers and designers have said that more needs to be done to take the simple steps to making these rooms greener and less wasteful.Responding to a Kitchen and Bath Design News (KBDN) study, the home specialists consulted said that not enough clients were yet demanding the green standards which would make dealers take the steps necessary to become better informed and supply greener blueprints for the kitchen and elsewhere.David Johnston, of Colorado environmental consulting firm Whats Working, told KBDN The kitchen and bath industry is really the last frontier in green building, highlighting the new attention finally coming to rest on these parts of the house.Taps are in fact claimed to be one of the beneficiaries of the newfound green criteria against which kitchens are now being measured with new awareness of land-fill problems and recycling not always available, people are turning back to taps and traditional tap water over bottled alternatives.KBDN held up the Rohl Perrin Rowe Contemporary Triflow faucet as an example of the innovation in tap design which could bring people away from mineral water.The quality Perrin Rowe tap is designed to allow hot, cold and filtered water all to flow from the same faucet, while keeping the water as healthy as possible for drinking The filter removes particles in water down to 0.2 microns but leaves minerals.
