Responsibly sourced from forest to home

We value the world we live in. That’s why we care about what we take in and what we give out.

All our wood is responsibly sourced from forest to home:

40% reused from timber yard cut-offs (created during the machining process)

40% recycled from old furniture or pallets

20% is sustainably sourced from forests that comply with the FSC® (Forestry Stewardship Council) and PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification). Ensuring all trees are replaced and no damage is created in the foresting activity.

The Makings of a Bespoke Fitted Wardrobe

Doors & drawer fronts

Doors and drawer fronts are made in a variety of high-quality, modern materials depending on the collection.

The doors of our Signature and Essence Collections are made from deep router grade medium density fibreboard – a modern material highly valued for its profiling properties. This is finished with a high-quality vinyl wrap to give a very durable, high-quality finish.

Decorative details are most commonly made from medium-density fibreboard as this super durable modern material can be perfectly profiled in a design to match the range.


Side panels and facings

When making bespoke furniture, the side panels and facings are cut on site by the fitter to exactly fit the dimensions of the room. For this reason a high-quality particleboard is used as it is the very best material for the job.

Unlike solid wood or fibreboard, this can easily be cut around intricate details such as skirting boards, coving or sloping ceilings and compared to some products it produces less dust on site, which is a real benefit to customers.

Materials

When it comes to the materials used for Sharps bespoke fitted furniture, a lot of thought has gone into it. We use the best quality, most practical and robust materials for the job in hand. Below is a breakdown of which materials are used for the individual parts of our furniture.

Fibreboard

• High quality, deep routering fibreboard is used on the doors in the Signature and Essence collections
• A modern material, valued for its ability to create a smooth routed and detailed design
• Extremely solid and robust, this material is ideal for large furniture pieces because the board doesn’t warp or change shape
• The deep router grade board allows for the board to be profiled with a high finish
• Material meets European forestry sustainability standards

Particleboard

• Particleboard is used for the parts of the furniture which are cut in your home such as side panels and facings
• It is the best material to use on site as it is lightweight, it cuts easily and cleanly and doesn’t produce as much dust as to other materials
• Highly controllable modern material, can be precisely cut around covings, skirting boards and period features, ensuring a perfect fit
• The highly adaptable nature of the board allows side panels to be scribed right up to the walls, leaving no ugly gaps
• Particleboard doesn’t warp or distort over time ensuring that the product keeps its shape
• Material meets European forestry sustainability standards
