Green Kitchen Remodel
Meadowview Construction transformed this outdated kitchen into an oasis of a new kitchen using plenty of green techniques and materials. Eco-friendly cabinetry was custom made by Meadowview with amazing flyash concrete and recycled paper Richlite counters. LED lighting was used extensively along with FSC lumber, Low VOC paints and recycled glass floor tiles. A dual flush Toto toilet combined with a point of use water filtration system conserves water resources. The green concept carrie through to the outside with a water garden, rain barrel and plenty or recycled stone elements. |

The old arch top door was in tough shape so our skill craftsmen rebuilt the door to exactly match the old door and sealed it with 4 coats of Spar varnish. The leaded glass panel was also rebuilt. |

This section of planting catches rain run-off from the roof and all the plants here are drought and wet tolerant. This prevents excess run-off and allows the water to sink back into the surronding earth. |
