Our latest commercial renovation was a restroom upgrade for St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in Clifton Heights, PA.  Their goal was to breath new life into two lower level restrooms, change the vanity and flooring in the Pastor’s bathroom and enlarge their cleaning supply closet.  During the bid process I asked if they had considered “GOING GREEN.”  Their response was “It’s so small of a project, what could be green other than the low flow toilets?”, which they had heard don’t work very well.  Besides they are on a tight budget as they had only received about 90% of the funds compared to existing quotes.  We then gave them a quote with in their budget AND included the following green features:

Low Flow Kohler Toilets with a flush rating of 8 of 10 (by Home Depot)

Sherwin Williams NO VOC Harmony Paint

Solid PVC wainscoting and baseboard – for a long low maintenance life

Custom toilet partitions made of plastic laminate & FSC certified marine grade particle board

Ceramic Tile flooring with 40% recycled content

LOW VOC adhesives

Reused existing sinks by replacing old leaking faucets

PLUS we recycled their old metal toilet partitions!!!

See the results in the above pictures.   Tell us what you think and/or tell us about new materials we can include on the next go around as St. Mark’s starts collecting to renovate the upstairs restrooms and finally add an ADA compliant stall.
