Our recycled picnic tables and benches already reside in numerous NHS and MoD sites around the UK. As well as our standard models, we also offer accessible versions of our products for users with a range of mobility needs. A large range of colourways are available, both in block colours and the combinations of your choice, offering easy branding opportunities, as well as the option to colour-zone areas of larger sites. If security is a concern, fixing kits are available for both hard and soft ground.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>Elegant, sustainable and robust steel and recycled plastic benches enhance any built area. With a 25 year guarantee and fixable feet they are a great addition to any hospital grounds, town centre or other area of hard landscaping.<\/p>\n
After discovering by chance that almost all steel in the UK is recycled, we started to design a range of benches that used steel for a strong and classicly designed frame and recycled plastic for warmer and subsequently more comfortable seat and back slats. We started with a conventional backless bench, (the Shibden<\/a>), added a back, (the Selby<\/a>), added armrests, (the York<\/a>), and then as a direct response to a request from several accessibility groups, we produced a model that also had armrests in the middle of the bench and was elevated an additional 100mm to aid standing and sitting for users with reduced mobility, (the Loxley<\/a>)<\/strong>. The images to the left chart this journey.<\/p>\nWe also took the decision to keep the embodied carbon as low as possible by using a zinc primer topped with a rugged powder coating, rather than dipping the frames into a 450C galvanising bath.<\/p>\n
While these are the first of our products to use the steel and recycled plastic combination, they are very unlikely to be the last with a range of picnic tables due in 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Our X-Grid permeable paving is an excellent choice for lay-bys and carparks, providing an incredibly strong surface for heavy vehicles to drive and park on, as well as mitigating and alleviating surface flooding. The grids are SUDS-approved and can be filled with 14-20mm angular chippings, which provide a stable surface and are big enough to avoid migration into the tyre tread of large vehicles. They can also be backfilled with topsoil and grass seed for a lawned finish. They\u2019re safe to use on gradients of up to 1 in 10 and do not require pegging below 1 in 20. X-Grids are also Part M-approved and can be used for the provision of wheelchair-friendly public access pathways.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Why switch to recycled plastic?<\/h3><\/h3><\/div>There are many benefits of switching from timber to recycled plastic. Firstly, recycled plastic absorbs no moisture, so it will never rot, split or splinter, no matter how damp the environment in which it\u2019s used. As a result, replacement and refurbishment requirements are immediately reduced. Secondly, it requires no maintenance whatsoever, offering even more reductions to your total-life costs. Thirdly, it\u2019s chemically inert, making it resistant to the growth of mould and algae and conferring a lower slip risk than timber equivalents. Its inert nature also protects it from degradation, making it safe for use in vulnerable ecosystems: indeed, it\u2019s the material of choice for the Environment Agency and a number of conservation and wildlife organisations.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The principles of sustainability are embedded in every stage of our operation and service and our commitment to sustainable production far exceeds many other retailers. Our recycled plastic picnic tables, benches and planters are made exclusively from\u00a0UK-sourced waste<\/a>, directly preventing it from being landfilled. Our products are processed and distributed solely within the UK. We work only with UK partners and third parties, ensuring that our business benefits and supports the British economy, rather than investing in exploitative economies in vulnerable nations.<\/p>\nThe Midlands Partnership Foundation Trust, which added our benches to its shared garden for older patients at St George\u2019s Hospital, said:\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re quite big on sustainability within the Trust, and looking at ways in which we can increase our sustainability and be more efficient in that respect. So we really liked that your products utilise plastic that would have ended up in landfill. It made sense for us to invest in something that would save us money in the long run \u2013 as there\u2019s no upkeep to them \u2013 and they\u2019ll last a lifetime.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
We supply the majority of our furniture semi-assembled to ensure that no space is wasted during haulage. This brings the best possible value for money to our customers, as well as ensuring that the carbon footprint associated with delivery is minimised. All semi-assembled items are provided with stainless steel fixings and straightforward assembly instructions.<\/p>\n
