Fit out from sustainable sources with Morland

Dark wood finishes are proving increasingly popular with interior designers and architects.  Typically these dark woods such as teak and mahogany are tropical hardwoods.  Hardwoods such as oak and ash have been popular for some time.  All are difficult, if not impossible, to source with any proof of sustainable forestry.  The trees take decades to mature.  In the case of teak, all material from Burma has been declared illegal such is the scale of deforestation in the region.

Morland offers wrapped architectural mouldings using paper foils or continuous pressure laminates (CPL) for the decorative finish.  The quality of the finish on the CPL is virtually indistinguishable from a real wood veneer and harder wearing.

The cost of the finished item is lower both in financial and environmental terms.  Now to put the “icing on the cake” or the “polish on the wood” Morland has full sustainable timber chain of custody certification for their MDF profiles.

BM Trada has audited Morland and granted them certification for the purchase, processing, sales and distribution of FSC and PEFC certified timber products.

Commenting on the achievement Commercial Manager Andrew Warren said “Achieving the standard is just one of our environmental policy goals and it feels great to be able to say our products are from a sustainable source and we can prove it”
