Every Barlow Tyrie product is designed for longevity with an uncompromising combination of quality materials and craftsmanship in mind.

Timber Sourcing

We source the finest grade Forest Law Enforcement Governance and Trade (FLEGT) licensed teak (BRIK-VLK-0137), marine-grade stainless steel, and aluminium. Hardware is made from solid brass or stainless steel where strength requirements require it.

With this quality of materials comes sustainability. Barlow Tyrie’s teak wood is first-grade plantation-grown teak (Tectona Grandis) sourced mainly in Indonesia, where responsible forestry practices are employed.

Our teak products are made of FLEGT-licensed wood from Indonesia. The legality of the wood is assured through Indonesia’s national timber legality system, SVLK, a mandatory legality and sustainability certification system, and the FLEGT licensing scheme. FLEGT licences show that a country manages its forests according to forest management and environment laws and labour and community welfare legislation. FLEGT licences show that logging rights have been granted according to the law and that timber is legally harvested. The licences also confirm that products comply with legal requirements for trade and export and that required taxes and fees are paid. FLEGT-licensed wood is considered to comply fully with the EU Timber Regulation. Customers who place our FLEGT-licensed timber products on the EU market do not need further due diligence.

With Barlow Tyrie furniture, you can be sure that the wood used is sustainable, ethically grown, and sourced from only the finest teak.

Energy efficiency

Our operational sites in the UK and Indonesia are still family-owned and managed. We strive towards energy efficiency and fitted an extensive area of solar panels to our roof at Braintree two years ago, so we often put power into the grid. At the same time, all the lighting in the factory and warehouse was replaced with low-energy and sensor-activated LED lighting, which has reduced our energy consumption significantly.
