Durable Timber From EcoChoice
At EcoChoice, we have a large range of durable timber available which is perfect for outdoor furniture. Some of the hardwoods we recommend include:
These species have a high natural resistance to rot and insect infestation without treatment, and can withstand lots of wear and tear.
Complex Shapes Available
Furniture components are not always traditional shapes. No matter what you are seeking, we can create profiles to suit your designs, crafting even the most complex shapes from FSC-certified timber. The latest technology pairs with this traditional material to achieve high-quality, bespoke designs.
Technical Options Available
Our expertise and connections allow for a wide variety of technical modifications. For example we offer Thermodification, a process which subjects the timber to heat and pressure to make naturally non-durable species suitable for use outside without the need for chemical treatments. We can also carry out finger-jointing on some species and source glulam, ensuring your project has exactly what it needs for a premium finish.
Our Timber Matching Services
Navigating the world of timber species can be tricky, but with our expertise on your side this is made a lot easier. We will listen to your project requirements to understand your unique specifications before recommending suitable timber species. We will take into account the shapes and profiles required, the aesthetic for which you are looking and the final purpose, before making our selections.
Sustainably Sourced Timber For Furniture
All our timber at EcoChoice is sourced from FSC or PEFC -certified, responsibly managed forests. When choosing to work with us, you choose to fight deforestation and climate change, creating a better world for everyone. Sustainably managed forests are never overworked, allowing the animals, insects and plants which live there to thrive. They are also managed ethically, with a better respect for surrounding communities and a range of programmes to create employment for locals.
FSC-certified forests are the eco-conscious, planet-first choice when it comes to timber.
Why Choose Timber?
The right species of timber can be a naturally durable, strong material which is ideal for outdoor furniture components. Aside from this, many people choose timber because of its aesthetic appeal. A natural resource, the soft appearance of timber blends in with the surroundings, adding a premium look to your outdoor space. The wood can be stained and painted, too, allowing for versatility and adaptability.
It is also a lot more sustainable than other materials, particularly plastic. It is warmer than metal, and often more comfortable!
