Environmentally friendly wooden staircases by V.P Stairs
According to fresh statistics, wood is among the most popular staircase materials among UK residents. Most people appreciate natural materials such as hardwood despite the rapid development of technology. However, some homeowners complain that wooden staircases lose their primary aesthetic appearance over time.
There can be several reasons for the damage. For example, violating the rules of staircase care can shorten their lifespan. The second possible reason is that the staircases used low-quality wood. How to make sure that the wooden materials of the staircase meet all the standards? Based on our experience, in this article we will tell you about the importance of FSC certification and other nuances.
FSC certification – what is it?
If you want to make sure that the wood meets the highest quality standards and doesn’t harm the environment, you need to learn more about FSC certification. What is it? The Forest Stewardship Council is an international organisation dedicated to promoting responsible forest management around the world, including the UK. FSC certification confirms that the timber has been produced from raw materials sourced in a legal and sustainable way.
V.P Stairs uses only the highest grade timber in its projects, which is appropriately certified. In our portfolio, you can find many cases of FSC-certified wooden staircases. This certification for customers means a guarantee of quality and a long service life.
