Through our partnership with the Woodland Trust we are helping to replant the UK's native woodland and prevent any further loss of this ancient resource. The It Woodwork tree dedication scheme ensures the planting and maintaining of trees with every kitchen produced.

With our enthusiastic fund raising for Rainforest Concern we help them protect threatened natural habitats and the biodiversity they contain along with the people who rely on them for their survival.

The two classifications we look for when sourcing our materials are FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification). These classifications are awarded for environmentally, socially responsible and economically viable forest management.


So what materials do we use in our sustainable kitchens?

European Oak - for our doors, frames and drawer boxes. All our oak is PEFC certified

Birch Plywood - for our carcasses and drawer bases always carries an FSC and PEFC Certification

Natural Paint - we only use water based environmentally friendly paints with low VOC levels.

Sustainable worktops - We only use 100% FSC timber in our wooden worktops. This includes Oak, Maple, Ash, Beach, and Pitch Pine. We can also offer a range of recycled worktops made entirely of post consumer products such as glass and plastic.

Hardwax oil - We use environmentally friendly natural hardwax oil to preserve our wooden surfaces
