Fires and Surrounds Environmental Policy

All our wood fire surrounds are built fully complying with all relevant European legislation. Where we can save energy and offset the carbon footprint we do so.

All of the natural woods in our fire surrounds are sourced from well managed and professional plantations that are approved by the Forest Stewardship Council (FFC) or the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). These are both non-profit associations that independently inspect and evaluate forests of origin to ensure full forest replenishment schemes are adhered to.

You can buy a wooden mantel from us safe in the knowledge that it hasn't in any way contributed to the destruction of the world's forests.

What is WEEE?

The Waste Electrical or Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive requires countries to maximise separate collection and environmentally friendly processing of these items. In the UK, distributors (including retailers) must provide a system that allows all customers buying new electrical equipment the opportunity to recycle their old items free of charge. Those establishing their own take-back scheme must as a minimum offer all customers buying new electrical equipment free take-back of their old electricals on a like-for-like basis.
