Our Commitment
Evergreen Cabinetry is committed to the manufacture and sales of environmentally friendly, state-of-the-art frameless cabinetry. By eliminating the use of volatile organic compounds (VOC) such as formaldehyde from standard cabinet production, a cabinet now leaves a considerably smaller carbon footprint.

Formaldehyde
Evergreen Cabinetry offers some products that eliminate materials which contain formaldehyde from the production of cabinetry all-together to created some of the most eco-friendly cabinets in the industry to date. Formaldehyde, is listed as a known human carcinogen by the American Cancer Society.

Other Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's)
Some VOC's in finishes are considered carcinogenic, such as formaldehyde, which is listed as a known human carcinogen by the American Cancer Society. Apart from its carcinogenic properties, breathing formaldehyde gas can cause headaches, fatigue, respiratory irritation, and flu-like symptoms. In a 1999 study in Environmental Science and Technology of formaldehyde emissions from consumer products, one wet floor finish (an acid-cured finish available only for professional use) scored highest of any product tested. More recently, tighter EPA emissions standards have helped to reduce the amount of acid-cured finishes on the market in the U.S., and many manufacturers have shied away from acid compounds due to their high formaldehyde emissions. However, there are still some professional uses, particularly cabinet-making and curing, in which these compounds are still utilized.

Although there are different levels of VOC toxicity, VOC's commonly found in stains, paints and adhesives tend to produce noxious (poisonous) fumes that quickly evaporate into the atmosphere when used with both natural and manufactured products.

Substances used in the manufacture of standard cabinetry today are applied stains, paints and sealants used to protect the cabinets from moisture and heavy wear—scratches. Some of these solvents or water-based petroleum products contain natural oils and distillates or are 100% synthetic polyurethanes, all of which are derived from petroleum. These distillates allow the solutions to remain in a liquid form until used. They also act as a binder holding the ingredients together until it hardens into a film once it dries on the wood surfaces.

Professional kitchen and bath designers will now have the option of offering what is considered “green cabinetry” with outstanding quality of construction and many of the same choices found in standard modular cabinets. Both homeowners and contractors need not look any further when considering cabinets that provide a low impact on the environment and yet provide an exceptional value.

Evergreen Cabinetry uses state-of-the-art computerized equipment, machinery and finishing systems to provide the perfect balance of precision, quality and value.
