As the new year rolls around, many of us will be thinking about our resolutions for the upcoming year. This can include being more active, organised, or finally doing some jobs at home that you’ve been meaning to do for a while.
Maybe it includes a promise to get the garden sorted – let’s be honest, it’s probably fallen into disarray over the colder months. Or perhaps one of your resolutions is a commitment to be more eco-conscious as we continue to be locked in a climate change battle.
Luckily, Luxus Home and Garden is on hand to help fulfil both of these goals. The British manufacturer is a specialist in teak furniture – a durable and sustainable option for your garden, perfect for all weathers.
What is teak furniture?
If you’ve never heard of teak furniture before, it is hardwood furniture made from the Tectona grandis tree, commonly found in Asia and now also cultivated in tropical areas such as Central America.
The properties of teak make it particularly well-suited to use as outdoor furniture, as it has a longer lifespan than most other wood varieties and is highly durable. For this reason, it has often been used as the decking of ships and boats throughout history.
Why is teak a good option?
Teak has many benefits – most particularly its hard-wearing nature, which means it won’t crack easily, survives well in all weather conditions, and can be left outside all year round.
As a form of wood, it’s practical and strong, as well as versatile – suiting various needs, tastes, and fitting any outdoor space easily and stylishly.
What’s more, it’s sustainable. And in a world where we’re becoming increasingly eco-conscious and looking to reduce our carbon footprint more than ever, it’s a great option.
Sustainability at the forefront
Though teak furniture is inherently sustainable, Luxus Home and Garden is committed to sustainable practices throughout the harvesting and manufacturing process.
With operations in both the UK and Indonesia – where teak is sourced – all of the teak wood used in the manufacturing of Luxus’ furniture is FLEGT (Forest Law Enforcement Governance and Trade) licensed, meaning that the timber has been harvested, processed and exported in accordance with international laws.
Not to mention, Luxus’ teak furniture is also initially sourced from sustainably-run plantations, which have a strict policy regarding the size, age, and number of trees felled each year, together with a comprehensive replanting program.
All Luxus’ teak furniture is checked and issued with SVLK certification (Indonesian Timber Legality Assurance System) to confirm that it has been legally harvested and can be sold in any EU country.
All this means that when buying with Luxus, customers can rest assured that their teak furniture has been processed with sustainability firmly in mind.
Make your garden greener
As our priorities and requirements change, teak has become an increasingly popular solution for outdoor furniture, boasting natural durability and versatility, as well as being highly sustainable.
Luxus also prides itself on providing excellent customer service and maintenance advice, so if you have any queries or issues, the team is on hand to help.
So, whether you’re looking for seating for your garden or replacing your tired outdoor dining set, opt for something that is both premium and eco-friendly with Luxus – a true achievement!
