Durability – These are materials that will produce structures and furniture that will outlast your grandchildren. There is no reason to succumb to pressure to make inferior choices when your furniture, floors, joinery, etc can be beautiful, functional, sturdy and longlasting.
Cost – Intelligent use of the right materials doesn’t need to hurt financially. A jarrah floor can be supplied and laid for less than a concrete slab and tiles or carpet. Even composite boards which appear less expensive have to be covered, and then you don’t get the joy of looking at your hardwood floor every night.
Health – Polished boards don’t harbour dirt and pests the way a carpet can. Manufactured products for your cupboards and shelves may have utilised any number of chemical processes to get them to your home. Timber is grown in the forest and hardwood doesn’t require complex chemical processes for manufacture or preservation. It’s easily cleaned and if you choose, even sealing and polishing can be done by completely natural means including beeswax or carnauba.
Responsibility – The processes that regulate the harvest of West Australian timber are stringent and we believe that they’ve reached a level that is sustainable. This timber is taken only when approved and by ensuring the financial value of forest areas, we’re ensuring that the health of the forest is a serious concern even to those who see the bottom line as everything. By getting the most out of every log we’re ensuring that an industry survives and supports humans while drawing only a sustainable level of resource from the planet.
