CARBON NEUTRAL

Our devoted team collaboratively engages in every aspect of our operations to quantify, administer, and curtail carbon emissions.
Our imminent focal point will centre on our supply chain, wherein we seek transparency with our suppliers and establish partnerships with companies equally dedicated to combatting climate change.

TIMBER

The cornerstone of our craft lies in timber, a fundamental material procured from conscientious sources that fuels our passion.
For the structural integrity of our cabinets, we use premium Birch plywood, renowned for its enduring strength. These carcasses are expertly finished with a resilient, water-based, matte lacquer, preserving the beauty of the wood.
Our kitchens are engineered to withstand the test of time, which, to us, is a true testament to sustainability, as they obviate the need for premature replacement.

REFORESTATION

We actively contribute to the reforestation of the UK’s indigenous woodlands.
The Sustainable Kitchens tree dedication initiative ensures the planting and vigilant care of trees with every kitchen we craft. As a unified team, we volunteer our time and effort toward the nurturing of these vital reforestation projects.

Locally Supplied

We endeavour to source our materials from local suppliers whenever feasible.
Whether it’s hardware or timber, we celebrate our rich manufacturing heritage in this country, championing it for a sustainable tomorrow.

HAND PAINTING

The meticulous hand-painting process applied to our kitchens imbues them with depth and texture, affording you the ease of touching up any blemishes or the option to repaint the kitchen for a fresh lease of life in due time.
We exclusively utilize water-based paints facilitated through a color-matching service, ensuring a resilient, long-lasting finish.

WASTE

Our commitment to sustainability ensures we reuse and recycling at every available opportunity, leaving very little of our workshop materials to go to waste. Thoughtful cutting lists generated by a cutting optimisation program ensures minimal waste.
All non-recyclable waste is handled through a zero-landfill approach, managing it in the most sustainable manner possible.
Some of our offcuts are thoughtfully repurposed by external companies, creating delightful items such as bird boxes and bee homes, as part of our ongoing commitment to resource conservation.
