| At Circle Interiors,
we pride ourselves on our extensive and up-to date research
into materials currently available, their safety, durability
and their effects on the environment. Following is a brief
overview of the issues we take into account when selecting
materials: |
Health and Wellbeing |
 |
Looking after our health
in a world increasingly filled with chemical contaminants
is a priority. At Circle Interiors there are options
for different health requirements, including solutions
for people with asthma and/or chemical sensitivities.
With furniture from Circle Interiors you can rest assured
that the utmost care has been taken to limit indoor
air pollutants commonly found in adhesives, paints,
varnishes, laminates, and reconstituted timber products.
We offer clients choices in materials based on various
globally recognised certifications and individual needs.
One of the most common certifications we look for is
the European E1 standard.
|
Ecological Sustainability |
 |
In order to sustain life
on this planet, resources must not be used faster than
they can be replaced. Buying durable products, and using
them for as long as possible is a great way to conserve
resources.
Circle Interiors furniture is made to last. The highest
quality materials and finishes are used, so the years
will add character to your furniture and you will want
to keep it in the way we keep family heirlooms and antiques.
We offer clients the choice of timbers certified by
the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). The Forest Stewardship
Council promotes environmentally appropriate, socially
beneficial, and economically viable management of the
world's forests. For more information about the FSC

Care and Maintenance |
 |
The beauty and durability
of your Circle Interiors furniture can be maintained
for generations with a few simple tasks.
When a particleboard surface gets chipped, it is virtually
impossible to repair. Our painted or varnished plywood
on the other hand, can be fixed with wood filler and
sanded or just re-painted to return it to excellent
condition.
In order to restore shine, any exposed timber can be
re-oiled or varnished without needing to be sanded prior
to application.
