Five years ago, a care home organisation took delivery of PolyWood tables and chairs for its Margate site, and has just taken delivery of more PolyWood garden furniture for its new Brentwood residence, the Beeches.
DMMP, which imports the weather-proof PolyWood furniture and is the UK distributor, is delighted with this vote of confidence.
“By now, after five years in constant use and exposure to the elements, equivalent outdoor furniture made from timber may well be on its last legs, or desperately needing intensive maintenance,” explains managing director Marcus Palmer, “but the PolyWood furniture in Margate has needed nothing more than a few wash-downs. It still looks as good as new, proving a wise investment. We’re delighted to have supplied more furniture for this new development in Brentwood.”
The Miramar Signature Care home in Brentwood, Essex, has installed a variety of PolyWood tables and chairs with cushions. The design of the project was by Leisure Concepts Architects from Kenilworth. They specified the Traditional Garden range of furniture in Sand.
The Beeches in Brentwood is a purpose-built care home embracing elegant living comprising 99 private apartments with landscaped gardens, dining areas, a cafe and even a cinema room. As the PolyWood furniture is classically-styled and finished in a neutral colour, it has fitted easily into the outdoor areas providing stylish al fresco dining or seating for socialising; its unique recycled plastic material affords not only comfort and stability but year-round maintenance-free care. As the furniture can be left outdoors as it is weather-proof, staff time does not need to be spent moving it and residents can quickly take advantage of unexpectedly warm and sunny days.
“We think the PolyWood furniture looks superb in this location,” concludes Marcus. “It really blends in well and fits in with the style created by the architects and the organisation. Their residents would expect top quality garden furniture from a home like The Beeches, and we were thrilled to supply it.”
The PolyWood range offers an environmentally-responsible solution to the millions of plastic bottles thrown away in landfills. Pellets of processed, recycled bottles are extruded to create plastic ‘timber’ which is then hand-crafted in exactly the same way as natural timber to create PolyWood’s stunning outdoor furniture range. Proven over time, Poly-Wood is unaffected by sun, rain, snow, sleet, wind, saltwater, chlorine and mildew. As it is non-porous and uses stainless steel fixings, the furniture can be left outside all year round even in the most hostile of climates; washing with a mild detergent will keep it clean.
