Benefits of Mangowood Products
Benefits of Mangowood Products
Mango wood as compared to other sources of timber is more sustainable.
Mango trees mature quickly reaching a height of 80 to 100 feet in around 15 years. Once the trees stop bearing fruit, they are harvested for timber & a new generation of trees is planted. Harvesting mango wood provides extra income to the farmers.
The unevenness of the grains makes this wood unique in its own way. Mango is a hardwood with dense grains and that makes it strong, but at the same time its soft enough to easily work with.
Mango wood is categorized as hardwood because of its strength, density, attractive looks and of course durability that allows it not to wear out quickly and keep their high lustre texture for many years. These capabilities have made it suitable for the production of various household objects.
Shearwater manufacturing processes allows us to enhance its durability with finishing coating that can transform Mango wood into a truly durable kind of wood which is perfect for household décor items such as bowls, serving trays, etc.
Mango’s internal structure easily repels water damage (and even more if it was polished!), which makes it a great choice for outdoor furniture.
Aluminium
Aluminium
Aluminium is 100% recyclable, non toxic and long lasting.
Aluminium is not only a trendy material whose flexibility and formability causes every designer’s heart to miss a beat, it has also proven itself in every way and thus captured a firm place in modern homes and offices.
Top product designers use aluminium to optimise every aspect of everyday objects
A multifunctional and durable material. Its properties create applications that save energy in a lasting and efficient manner
Energy required to produce new aluminium is down more than a quarter since 1995 and the industry’s carbon footprint is down nearly 40 percent.
Comfort, safety and design must also be considered. Sustainability means not only environmental protection but also resource efficiency, economic efficiency and socially relevant aspects where aluminium excels.
