Luxury Kitchen Company Launches "Green Kitchens"

Denver, Colorado - December 4, 2006 - Wm Ohs Custom Kitchens announces the launch of its new environmentally-friendly (or "green") kitchens, which are available throughout the United States.

Wm Ohs luxurious hand-crafted, hand-finished cabinetry features a variety of materials carefully selected to come in compliance with emerging architectural specifications such as the LEED green building rating system. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification is the recognized standard for measuring building sustainability.

All of Wm Ohs kitchens are available with eco-friendly components. Additionally, Wm Ohs currently has a process in place to satisfy most SFI (Sustainable Forest Initiative) and FSC (Sustainable Forest Council) material requirements. Both of these organizations monitor forests to ensure they are re-seeded in a timely fashion to avoid depletion. Other plentiful, fast-growing wood species, such as bamboo and lyptus are also available.

In addition to using plentiful wood species, Wm Ohs offers customers:

• Several reduced and zero-formaldehyde materials, thus eliminating harmful toxins and pollutants.

• Water-based finish technologies are also available. This includes using glazes and top coats at near zero VOC (volatile organic compound) emission, which is an ozone-depleting substance.

Wm Ohs President Robert Cilli, says, "Wm Ohs kitchens are not only aesthetically gorgeous and created with top quality craftsmanship, but are now more environmentally-friendly than ever. Our customers have embraced our commitment to preserving the earth, and we will also explore other 'green' options as they become available to us in the future."

As an industry leader, Wm Ohs is known for offering distinctive furniture-like kitchens with elegant Tuscany, French, English and the recently introduced "Transitions" cabinetry designs.
