Metal – strong, stylish and recyclable
Metal is second only to wood in the amount we use across our range - and for good reason. It is durable and affordable. Below, we set out the specific metals we use, their properties, and the sourcing requirements we apply.
Top three in our metal charts
We use three main types of metal: Aluminium, Stainless Steel and Carbon Steel. Each of these metals has unique properties and will affect a product’s performance, durability and looks.
Aluminium
Lightweight and easy to produce in different shapes and sizes, aluminium is a material that’s durable, recyclable and doesn’t rust. We have achieved a minimum of 70% recycled aluminium content in products such as PAX fronts and LINDBYN mirrors – products that reach a wide range of customers.
Stainless steel
Stainless steel has many great properties. It is corrosion-resistant; it resists rust, tarnishing, and staining. It is a strong metal that can withstand both very high and very low temperatures, making it ideal for cooking and eating products. It can be recycled repeatedly while retaining its essential properties.
Carbon steel
Carbon steel is known for its high strength and durability. It can be recycled repeatedly and is very versatile. Its versatility allows us to select different types of steel to optimise product design for different uses.
