Coates Walker Cabinets

Coates Walker Cabinetry uses only low VOC glues and a proprietary water based finishing system that produces 80% fewer VOCs than the catalyzed conversion varnish finish typically used in conventional cabinetry. Materials containing urea-formaldehyde and other VOCs emit potentially harmful fumes into the home over many years. Reducing VOCs in the home is particularly important when there are children present. |

Due to their greater respiratory rates, children breathe a proportionately greater volume of air than adults. Pollutants or aerosols that are heavier than air tend to concentrate near ground level in the breathing zone of children who are smaller, and play on the floor. Children's vulnerability to air pollution is increased because of their narrower airways and the fact that their lungs are still developing. Coates Walker Cabinetry offers the option to use FSC-certified wood for veneers, doors, trim and other millwork. The cabinetry helps meet LEED certification requirements for recycled content materials, urea-formaldehyde and VOC emissions, local sourcing and the option to use FSC certified woods. You can choose one of their cabinet and door styles, or give them any door style and they will match it and create a healthier version just for you. They also have the capability to make custom mouldings, doors and other millwork. Coates Walker cabinets are manufactured at their factory in Vermont. They are able to fulfill standard and custom orders using computerized design and production equipment and skilled craftspeople. The standard lead time is 6-8 weeks, but rush orders can often be accommodated. Buying local benefits you and the environment. You save on shipping, and the environment benefits because less shipping means less fuel and fewer emissions that pollute the air and contribute to global warming. source: www.coateswalker.com |
