I once heard a guy say he thought this “whole going green movement” was an evil plan devised by the government to make us spend more money on things such as recycling bins. In fact, this gentleman went as far to declare himself as “anti-green.”
So, you know, there’s that.
Truthfully, going green has never been more popular. Even the door and hardware industry, specifically div 10, is getting in on the action. We’ve spotlighted a few items that can help you in your quest to become more eco-friendly, but we’ve yet to really dive into the topic of the environmentally friendly hardware.
Today we’re going to focus on div 10 products and, in particular, bathroom partitions made completely out of recycled material. Granted, these do cost a little more than the average bathroom partition, but they come with plenty of advantages other partitions don’t offer.
Durability
When you think of recycled material, I bet the first thing that comes to mind is paper and you wouldn’t be wrong. There are bathroom partitions that are made completely out of recycled paper. Automatically, the first question we inevitably get is whether or not those partitions will hold up in the often damp conditions of a bathroom.
One of the biggest selling points from Ampco for recycled paper partitions is their durability. They’re scratch-resistant, water-resistant, and boast a 15 year limited warranty.
Aesthetics
You don’t really have many options for style when it comes to bathroom partitions. However, when someone first told me about the recycled paper bathroom partitions, I immediately pictured this:
Fortunately, technology is advanced enough to make sure you don’t have ugly brown paper partitions in your bathrooms.
Granted, our team wouldn’t recommend these partitions for those going for a contemporary look, but they would work for anyone who was interested in a more rustic theme.
LEED Certified Div 10 Products
LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and is a “green building certification program that recognizes best in-class building strategies and practices.”
This provides a way for buildings to earn points that inch them one step closer to a completely green building. Different items are worth different points and this can allow you to move up to different levels of being green. These div 10 partitions are LEED certified which means you’ll boost your building’s point value.
There are many options when it comes to recycled paper bathroom partitions so if you have any questions, we’d be more than happy to help.
