Sustainability
Our UHPC concrete furniture stands as an exemplar of environmental friendliness and sustainability. From production processes to its extended lifespan and beyond, our furniture has a commitment to minimising environmental impact and promoting sustainable living.
The production of our furniture typically involves the use of recycled materials such as reclaimed glass and aggregates reducing the demand for virgin resources.
Our mixing process involves a more efficient production process compared to traditional concrete, resulting in lower energy consumption and reduced carbon emissions.
By using a blend of cement, fine aggregates and alkaline resistant fibres our mix design has the durability of the concrete and the strength of the glass fibre, the strategic combination of which results in a lighter-weight material. This reduces transportation and associated emissions.
A key environmental advantage of our furniture is its longevity and durability when compared to conventional furniture materials. Our concrete has exceptional resistance to weathering, moisture and UV exposure so resulting in minimal maintenance over time and consequently reducing the need for any chemical treatments. The extended lifespan of concrete furniture reduces the frequency of replacements thereby minimising waste and the burden of landfill.
The design versatility of our furniture gives the ability to create intricate, lightweight and complex forms keeping our production extremely resource efficient. This dramatically reduces the waste created compared to other stone surfaces as our pieces are cast to the shape required rather than being cut to suit on site – this also eliminates any harmful dust that would be created on site.
In conclusion our furniture shines as an environmentally friendly and sustainable choice, embodying eco-conscious principles at every stage of its life cycle.
