Quality Durability Sustainability

We are currently living at a time where the importance of making eco-friendly choices is ever more important. Here at Margetts & Margetts we make sure that sustainability is at the forefront of our decision making when we are crafting your kitchen. From choosing locally sources produce, what type of timber we select and paint we use, all choices have sustainability at its heart without compromising the quality of the kitchen.

The majority of kitchens’ bought are unfortunately not sustainable and most people will make the mistake of choosing a kitchen that looks good initially but will quickly look warn. Most high street kitchen companies make their carcasses from MDF or chipboard. These will absorb moisture very easily, will lose their shape, will sage, swell and will quickly need replacing. PLEASE DON’T MAKE THIS MISTAKE.

Here at Margetts & Margetts we make sustainable kitchens. All our carcasses are made from layers of birch, glued together in alternate directions for maximum strength, stability as well as to eliminate swelling and sagging. This means that our kitchens will last and replacements will not be needed, reducing waste and negative impact on the planet.

Our doors and frames are made from Poplar wood which we choose to use due to its quick growing speed, resulting in a more sustainable production. Some kitchen companies choose oak which is slow-growing and very difficult to source in a sustainable way.  

This makes every cabinet we make a sustainable kitchen cabinet.

All kitchens are painted with environmentally friendly, hard wearing Farrow and Ball paint. Normal paint not only toxifies the environment but also considerately contributes to the indoor air pollution in our homes. This has been linked to respiratory issues and headaches. Farrow and Ball do not use harmful chemicals and use a water base formula and natural pigments to create the calming sensual pigments.

Choose a sustainable kitchen company! Choose Margetts and Margetts where we are not only high in quality but also conscientious in our environmental choices.
