As we all know, wood is a 100% rapidly renewable resource. Pritzker Prize-winning Austrian architect and AIA Gold Medalist Glenn Murcutt said: “One of the few sustainable materials is timber”. In the production of our wood countertops, we use wood from sustainably harvested forests with much of it certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. This process is still in its infancy so not all lumber is certified due to complications in the procedures and storage of the lumber. In efforts to go beyond this, we offer Lyptus, a brand name lumber which is 100% sustainably grown in special forests. Even the mills that process the boards are operated on the unusable remnants of the trees. We also offer reclaimed lumber which has been gathered from construction tear downs and river beds.
