It is a design that has stood the test of time, it is functional, very reliable and importantly looks good. It seems that the British public is once again falling in love with design and are happy to fit a design that works in their home no matter how old that design is.
British homeowners are once again falling in love with wood. They realise that it is a versatile building material, which can be stained and crafted to fit in with practically any style of home. Modern production techniques and finishes mean that modern wood not only looks great it is easy to maintain.
The fact that it is now possible to buy wood grown and produced in a sustainable way is also helping to make wood a more popular way for UK homeowners to finish off their home. In the UK, there is a lot of pressure from consumers for products that are environmentally friendly. Today, wood ticks all of the boxes.
Demand for Bespoke Wood Fixtures and Fittings is also Increasing
