4 Reasons University Loft Uses Environmentally Farmed Timber

Hevea brasiliensis. At University Loft Company, we also refer to this tree as Environmentally Farmed Timber. We selected Hevea brasiliensis for our solid wood and wood products because of its many qualities. It’s green friendly. It’s strong. It’s durable. It’s beautiful. Here are 4 reasons University Loft uses environmentally farmed timber.

It is Green

One of the reasons we use Environmentally Farmed Timber is because of how useful it is to our natural world. Throughout their 25-30 year lifespan, they yields latex for a variety of uses. When the latex production becomes low, the trees are cleared and new ones are planted. Rather than polluting the air by burning them, the wood is used for furniture and other items.

It Is Strong

This wood is very strong. In independent tests done on strength, Hevea is proven stronger than Northern Red Oak. It is also resistant to fungus, bacteria and mold. We like that.

It is Durable

University Loft uses hardwood so that our furniture will a long lifespan. Our furniture has gone through hurricanes and floods. They may have gotten wet but they remained standing.

It is Beautiful
