Eco Friendly Bathroom Vanities From The Wyndham Collection
"Going green" is all the rage these days - from energy efficient appliances to fancy new water bottles. But when it
comes to remodeling your bathroom, it turns out that opting for environmentally friendly components isn't just
something you ought to do, it might actually be something you want to do - especially when it comes to eco
friendly bathroom vanities. Made of quality materials with earth-first processes, Wyndham's sleek, stylish
contemporary and modern bathroom vanities are not only good for the environment, but are also great to look at
and built to last a lifetime.
Abba 48 Inch Coffee Vanity Set
Wyndham Collection vanities are held to the highest environmental standards at all stages of production. On the
most basic level, Wyndham uses only FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified oak hardwood in the
construction of all their bathroom vanities, like this Abba wall mount vanity. That means a few different things.
First, that all wood used in the vanities is harvested from sustainable sources. The source trees are grown and
culled conscientiously, not strip cut. Secondly, it means that all forest management policies are monitored in the
area the wood is taken from, verifying that the area will continue to produce evenly and making certain that the
health of the forest takes precedence. Finally, all the wood that Wyndham uses can be traced directly back to the
source.

Malibu 48 Inch Bathroom Vanity Set In Espresso
The use of only solid hardwood with the occasional real wood veneers also means that Wyndham Collection
vanities like this Malibu will be much, much more durable than inexpensive MDF or plywood pieces. While many
MDF and plywood vanities are marketed as eco friendly bathroom vanities because they reuse scrap wood rather
than harvesting solid wood, the quality isn't the same, and the particle boards may even be bound with harmful
chemicals, depending on the brand. As well, while almost all of the vanities have a lacquered finish (more on this
later), you can still see the wood grain which gives each piece a unique, natural beauty that you won't find in many
eco-friendly pressed board vanities.

Once the wood is selected, each vanity is assembled using only natural adhesives with low or no VOCs (volatile
organic compounds) which prevents outgassing. That means that no toxic chemicals or gasses are released
during the construction of the vanity. If you've ever smelled a bad glue smell, that's exactly what these vanities
don't have. The exact compound they use is proprietary, but the use of natural rather than chemical ingredients
makes vanities like this traditional Andover vanity significantly less polluting, both during initial assembly and over
time.
Daytona 71 Inch Double Bathroom Vanity
Each vanity undergoes an 8-12 stage finishing and sealing process. Once again, Wyndham prides itself on using
a zero emissions process that makes their wood vanities highly warp resistant, and a low-VOC finish that makes it
highly water resistant. Again, this is beneficial for reasons that go above and beyond concern for the environment.
While mother nature and the air you breathe will thank you, Wyndham vanities like this Daytona Double Vanity will
make you grateful, too, as they're some of the best suited to constantly changing wet conditions available. Even in
splash-prone areas like a kids bathroom, Wyndham Collection vanities are designed to stand up to tough moisture
conditions better and longer than the competition.

Abingdon 36 Inch Single Bathroom Vanity Set In Espresso
In addition to high quality, durability, and earth-friendliness, Wyndham's eco-friendly vanities can also be good for
your bottom line. Going green is all the rage, but not just for people who love the earth. Green building practices,
including using something like this Abingdon vanity in a bathroom remodel, can qualify you for all kinds of tax
credits, rebates, and other financial incentives. The more earth friendly materials and technologies you use, the
greater your incentives will be. You'll need to check with your state's specific regulations on the issue, but opting
for green bathroom fixtures like Wyndham vanities coupled with low flow toilets, shower heads, or faucets can
actually make a pretty big difference in the bottom line of your budget, and make it easier to build the bathroom
you want for a total lower cost.

Moreover, buying an environmentally conscious vanity isn't just eco-friendly and wallet-happy, it can be good for
your health, too. Many bathroom vanities (or cabinetry and furniture in general) use harsh chemicals during
production. From formaldehyde to a whole array of volatile organic compounds and toxic adhesives,
conventionally made pieces of furniture are often processed and assembled with materials that are not only
damaging to the environment, but which can also contaminate the air inside your home. Processed wood and
chemical adhesives can release toxins into your bathroom over the life of the vanity, which can cause lung
problems and even cancer over time, especially in a poorly ventilated space. But Wyndham's vanities are zero
emissions across the board, not only during the production process, but over the life of the vanity as well. Whether
you opt for a smaller vanity or one of their larger ones like this Premiere 72 inch white vanity, the process is the
same, and it will help keep your family breathing cleaner. Whatever your reason for wanting to invest in an eco
friendly bathroom vanity, those from the Wyndham collection are a great choice for a lot of reasons. Their quality
and durability meets and exceeds that of many brands that don't adhere to the same stringent environmental
standards, which means they're better for you, better for your bathroom, and better for the health of your family
(and your wallet!). What inspired you to shop eco friendly bathroom vanities? Are you more concerned about the
environment, your health, or building a more sustainable home? Let me know in the comments!
