Heron

Made from

White goods

With layered feathery soft grey tones, a smattering of yellow hues, warm ochre flecks, black and blizzard white, it’s hard to imagine that Heron came from humble beginnings. But, in fact, it was created from the staple kitchen fixtures we use every day.

Would-be discarded white goods make up the foundations of the Heron mix, bringing a unique aesthetic and colour palette that is less reminiscent of its original material make-up and more alike the appearance of the statuesque bird after which it was named.

Pattern Examples

We make up batches of Heron material in 5-10 tonne lots and batches will vary depending on the raw material available. There will always be a base of soft grey tones, and yellow hues, however, there may also be colour inclusions that can vary in ratio and tone between batches. Here are some examples of current and previous batches of Heron.

Panel Information

We are a small batch manufacturer using craft techniques to make our materials. The raw materials we source for our products vary and therefore the subsequent patterns in our surfaces can vary between batches. If you strictly need to minimise colour variation, discuss your needs with us prior to ordering to make sure all your material comes from the same batch.

We try very hard to make our sheets as blemish-free as we can and see every quirk, imperfection and mottle telling a different recycling story. Please contact us to discuss this if it could be a problem.

Raw Materials

Due to the nature of the raw material and in response to UV exposure, you may find Heron will yellow over time. For this reason, we do not recommend Heron for external use or for applications in constant / direct sunlight. If discolouration does occur, there are restorative processes that can be considered to bring the original surface appearance back. Please review the handling instructions or get in touch for further information.
