Cast iron is eco-conscious-and chic

(NC)-With environmental issues at the top of every agenda, incorporating recycled materials in all sorts of home products is all the rage. But if the thought of using recycled materials in your home conjures up images of abstract art and quirky granola décor, it's time to rewind and give one of today's most progressive home surfaces a closer look.

Many high end companies pride themselves on making a positive impact on the environment however possible. Some home design companies, such as Kohler, have gone so far as to find a way to incorporate recycled and reclaimed materials in many of their cast iron products. Although they are among the most luxurious-looking surfaces, some of Kohler's high-end sinks, bathroom lavatories, bathtubs and shower stalls are actually made from cast iron containing as much as 93 per cent recycled and reclaimed material. Their high-gloss, eternally durable enamel finish is so tough, it's hard to believe this is its second life. And with a limited lifetime warranty, it's a choice you can live with for years to come.

Available in a plethora of colours and textures, cast iron products, such as those available from Kohler (www.kohler.ca), make a flawless entrance into every kitchen or bath space. Incorporating eco-consciousness without abandoning your chic décor dreams has never been easier - and wait until you tell your friends it's recycled.
