Meal delivery is changing recycling needs,” comments Ann Porter, a kitchen designer in Naples, Florida. “Do people actually cut the gel packs open, drain them and recycle the bags?” The answer is likely to be no, and most, if not all, of the companies don’t reuse packages because of health codes and cost issues.
The Next Floor
While wood remains popular, ceramic is nipping at its heels.
For people who like wood flooring but not its expense or upkeep, some are trying luxury vinyl, a budget-friendly, fuss-free alternative available in multiple plank sizes; it replicates the hardwood in both appearance and surface texture.
“Manufacturers are now offering it in a waterproof version” a boon for kitchen use, says Ann Porter, principal of Naples, FL based Kitchen Studio of Naples, Inc. Moreover, compared to porcelain, vinyl is warmer underfoot and objects dropped are less likely to break.
New Technology Drives Tile Trends
Naples, FL-based designer and blogger Ann Porter, CKD is also enthusiastic about the possibilities that recent inkjet printing offers, which she saw at Cevisama this year. “I was really impressed to learn that they can use inks on the tiles that will create raised and sunken textures. This saves on the cost of a tile if you can achieve the desired pattern and texture all in one firing.”
