There’s no doubt that wood furniture and furnishings are an attractive addition to any home. Yet the world’s natural forests are being destroyed by our increasing demand for timber. Originally 46% of the Earth’s land surface was covered by forest. Today around half of these forests have already gone and only one-fifth remain completely untouched. With global wood consumption expected to double over the next 30 years it’s important that we act now to preserve the remaining forests. Using recycled timber rather than felling more trees for home furnishings produces environmentally friendly furniture that helps to reduce the demand on the Earth’s forests.
Being Eco friendly and catering for our painting & DIY needs isn’t convenient, but why should we bother to look for green alternatives for painting, plastering, insulation and wood care products.
- They minimize considerable risks to your health,
- They reduce the environmental costs and impacts of your home, hugely
- They can greatly benefit the structural and physical integrity of a building
Lastly they encourage the use and development of products in general that are healthier and more environmentally friendly in their recovery and manufacture, their degradation and their disposal, so helping to ensure a sustainable future for all.
Whether you like wooden floors or carpets, each of them have their own good and bad points, carpets feel nice underfoot, reduces noise, and they act as a good insulator especially with a quality underlay. Wooden floors are cleaner & better for people with asthma and allergies, tie in well with decor changes and are hard wearing.
