Applications of Greengridz: kitchen countertops
Greengridz® proves that a product can be the perfect combination of circularity and innovation on the one hand and design and esthetics on the other. Because of the versatile characteristics of Greengridz, our construction panel is used in numerous applications. One of those applications is kitchen countertops. At Dekker Zevenhuizen, countertops with beautiful designs are made with Greengridz as the base product.
Why Greengridz for kitchen countertops?
Circularity and reusable materials are of increasing importance for every industry. In order to comply with the high standards of sustainability and circularity legislation, there is a need for a construction panel that can be easily incorporated into furniture and interior building. Greengridz is the green solution with a constructive grid that combines sustainability with affordability.
Greengridz’s lightweight and high strength are optimal features for a kitchen countertop, and enable efficient transportation. Less fuel is needed to transport Greengridz kitchen countertops, which provides economical advantages, and reduces CO2 emissions. In comparison to traditional construction panels, a Greengridz worktop can endure much more impact, and is highly resistant to water which is especially important for implementation in kitchens.
Sustainability and design
Another one of Greengridz’s features is the optimal machinability. At Dekker, tailored cutouts for sink basins and cooking plates can be made to comply with the clients needs. In addition to the machinability of Greengridz, the panels can be finished with various materials and laminates. Dekker’s countertops with Greengridz can be laminated with TopLaminate®, DecorTop® or FENIX®.
TopLaminate is an affordable laminate finish that is available in many colors and almost every design you can think of. The functional laminate is waterproof and very easy to clean and maintain. DecorTop has the same properties as TopLaminate, but is a thicker laminate and has a natural look. DecorTop comes in various colors and even surface textures like wood or stone. A FENIX worktop is characterized by the soft touch, and self-healing capacity. Little scratches heal by themselves, and fingerprints never show. This material even allows for PITT Cooking; where separate burners are integrated directly into your kitchen countertop for a luxurious design kitchen. The different options of laminates that Greengridz can be finished with, illustrate that sustainability and circularity can go together with design seamlessly.
