Statement of commitment to improving the environment
Homestead Furniture is committed to finding better, more efficient and environmentally favorable practices to create furniture “for your lifetime and theirs.”® Just like the continuous efforts to produce attractive, stylish, durable furniture, we want to ensure that all of our processes are as ecologically friendly as possible.
We currently are researching the quality of water-based stains for our custom-design, solid hardwood furniture. Once they reach our high standard for the protection of our furniture, we will implement the water-based stains into our production systems.
We want our furniture to last for generations. The Earth and its precious atmosphere are no different. We currently recycle cardboard packing, sawdust for livestock bedding, wood scraps for kindling and engine heat to supplement our heating system in our custom shop.
We also care for the environment of our workspace and for our neighbors. The air in our finishing shop is refreshed every minute, far exceeding industry standards. In addition, the finishing room is pressurized so that no fumes escape through exit doors. Our finishing room exhaust system has a three-stage filtering process as well.
Homestead Furniture is a founding member of the Sustainable Furnishings Council. Read about Homestead’s involvement with this council in the article Going Eco-Friendly with Your Furniture, by Carol Rich, recently published in Country Living magazine.
