SVLK
Teakwood is sourced from the teak tree, a tree that can grow up to 40 meters tall and traditionally thrives in South Asia. The teak tree's slow growth makes teakwood a sustainable resource. Due to the teak tree's gradual growth, the wood acquires properties that make it highly suitable for outdoor use. The growth rings are closely spaced, increasing the percentage of oil and fat in the wood. This prevents the wood from drying out - extending its lifespan. Additionally, teakwood is resistant to rot, making maintenance easier.
At Life Outdoor Living, we place great importance on the sustainable and legal cultivation and harvesting of our wood. Therefore, all of our teakwood is SVLK-certified, and registered. The SVLK certification (Sistem Verifikasi Legalitas Kayu) for teakwood garden furniture guarantees legally and sustainably produced wood. The teakwood we use for our garden furniture is SVLK certified, indicating that it originates from forests managed in a legal and responsible manner. This certification specifically focuses on ensuring the legality of the wood, which is crucial in combating deforestation and illegal logging.
FSC®
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) is an international organisation committed to conservation and responsible forest management worldwide. The FSC certification for teak garden furniture represents sustainability, responsible forest management, and an environmentally friendly choice. Teakwood is a popular option for garden furniture due to its natural beauty, durability, and resistance to various weather conditions.
The teakwood used for our garden furniture originates from teak trees that have been grown and harvested in a sustainable and responsible manner. The FSC certification indicates that the wood originates from forests that meet strict ecological, social, and economic standards. This allows consumers to enjoy their teak garden furniture with peace of mind, knowing that it has been produced in an environmentally friendly and ethical manner.
