Sustainable philosophy
Overview
Sgrinhouse aims to create beautiful, durable and timeless fabrics that celebrates British manufacturing and preserving traditional craftmanship. With the studio located in a coastal fishing village, there is even more importance to be transparent in the print workshop.
Longevity through quality
All fabrics are of the highest quality, from designing a timeless print, to hand printing onto the finest Linen. This craftsmanship creates beautiful and durable fabrics which will last a lifetime.
Saying no to wastage
All fabric off-cuts are kept to a minimum. Cushions are sized to minimise wastage and most orders are printed to order therefore no wastage is necessary.
Greener than green Packaging
At Sgrinhouse we strive for the most ecological packaging possible. 100% recycled cardboard is used in all our packaging, we use recyclable Kraft paper tape, recycled paper in both packaging and stationary and all fabric rolls and plastic film are end of line deadstock, which are recycled from local fabric suppliers and reused.
No Toxic chemicals
All products that are used in our print process are non toxic and ecological friendly. These including eco-pigment inks, water based binders, non toxic emulsion and plant based cleaners. These are an ecological alternative to plastisol inks, which contain heavy chemicals and plastics and toxic chemicals that drain into our water ways.
Sustainable Linen
Sgrinhouse uses high quality 100% Irish linen that is woven in a family run mill in the heart of the Irish countryside. They strive to keep tradition and luxury alive. Linen is made from flax which is a more sustainable alternative to cotton production. Linen requires less water in production, maintains soil quality, and is bio-degradable in its natural form. Being grown in Europe (GOTS labeled) and woven in Ireland we can ensure the labour is also ethical. The Mill is also powered by 100% renewable electricity and has been certified as energy rated at Zero Emissions.
