We will continue to partner with our suppliers and industry associations in a joint effort to embrace the changes necessary and ensure that we all have a healthier environment. Wellborn's demonstrated commitment to environmental stewardship offers our consumers the assurance that the cabinets they buy are the Green Choice for generations of family and the environment.

Wellborn's Natural Gas Savings = Heat for 5,124 Homes for One Year

Wellborn Cabinet utilizes steam from wood fires co-generation plants in our dry kilns, heating ovens, and paint room. This process saves approximately 300,000 (MCF) thousand cubic feet of natural gas annually, a nonrenewable resource, by using collected wood shavings.
