UNIQUENESS
You ‘ll never find two identical trees in a forest, their rings grows at different rhythms and their colours have indefinite numbers of subtle differences.It takes over 60 years for a tree to mature ,over time it develops a one of a kind beautiful grains .Thus,trees are the essence of our products, making each one unique.
ANTI-MICROBIAL PROPERTIES
Wood is safer. wood has natural antimicrobial properties which eliminates about 99 percent of all potential contaminants.Wood has {VOC-VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS} VOC’S which has antibacterial effect. The scent from woods are harmful to microbes but not to human.The surface of a wood will actually stop dangerous bacteria from multiplying and the germs simply die out after a period of about three minutes.

RENEWABLE RESOURCE
Wood is the most environmentally friendly material. It’s renewable. Wood is the only material made from sun, rain, and the carbon from the air.wood is the raw material which grows and replenishes itself every year.Cutting down trees is very good for forest health, lot of us don’t know about this.when selected trees are harvested, new trees are planted in their place,Thus the size of the forest get increased and can prevent deforestation by minimising competition among the trees and allows more ground area to flourish.
ZERO WASTE
We get bi-product at every stage of the production process which can be reused and repurposed.We Use bark for landscaping material. Saw dust is used as fuel and compost in farms .Round wood cut is used to make pallets of other building materials.Finally, we use the leftover hardwood for making our furniture.
LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT
LCA studies continuously show that wood outperforms other material in terms of embodied energy, air and water pollution, and carbon footprint. In our units we offset this energy consumption by using wood biproducts from our milling process as fuel to power our kilns. In doing so, we minimise both our carbon and energy footprint while eliminating waste.
