Are your woods kind to the environment?
Preserving our planet’s trees, woodlands and forests is imperative, which is why all the wood that we use comes from sustainable, responsibly managed woodlands.
We only ever use fast-growing species of trees like Maple, Cherry and Walnut as these are the most sustainable. These woods are removed at the rate of their growth which means that the woodlands, from which they originate will retain their supply and characters indefinitely.
How thick is the wood used in your standees?
Our veneered MDF is 4mm thick.
What does Male veneered MDF look like?
Our Maple veneered MDF is made from a solid Maple wood veneer that is laminated to an MDF board, giving an overall thickness of 4mm. Maple wood is light golden in colour, with a light grain and a smooth, high quality finish.
Please note that wood is a natural material which means that the colour, grain, and texture of each sheet will be different from the next. This should be taken into consideration when using any of our woods.
