Check out our FSC Certified Premium wooden sunglasses collection:
Selecting Wood For Sunglasses
We start with the selection of high-quality wood. Types like sustainable wood, eco-friendly acetate, and bamboo are preferred mainly for their durability.
There are more factors such as their lightweight nature and unique grain patterns.
However, the most important factor to consider here is ensuring that you are buying from FSC Certified suppliers only.
This ensures that safe practices are being implemented and the manufacture of wooden sunglasses is not harming the environment in any way. On the contrary, more trees are being planted instead.
Materials for Hinges and Lens Selection
For the hinges, we use lightweight metal to ensure maximum durability.
As for the lens, we opt for durable polycarbonate with a main focus on clarity, UV protection, and impact resistance.
The most crucial bit here is sustainable sourcing. Therefore, we ensure our partners hold certifications from eco-governing bodies.
Design and Precision Cutting
After the wood has been selected, the next step involves detailed designing for the wooden glasses frames. We use computer software to model the wood frames for glasses for both comfort and aesthetic appeal. Then only precise cutting is left to create the luxury sunglasses and ensure consistency across our collection.
Shaping and Sending
Step three involves the finest manual craftsmanship to carve, shape, and sand the wood spectacle frames and achieve the perfect fit and smooth finish. Sanding is important to remove any rough edges to ensure the natural wooden frame is comfortable to wear.
Assembly
Once your frames are shaped and ready, parts like the arms and front are joined using hinges. These hinges are either embedded within the wood or linked externally, depending on the design of the frame.
This one-bit requires the use of lightweight and durable metal to ensure your sunglasses don’t just chip off. 100% wood options may be available, but in those cases, the durability is compromised.
This step requires great precision because the durability and mechanism of the sunglasses depend on it.
Finishing Touches
Finishing touches are important to protect the newly made sustainable glasses and enhance their natural appeal. The frames are treated with natural oils and sealants. Giving them a polished look, water resistance, and increased longevity.
However, we do not recommend letting your sunglasses soak in the water. Regardless of false claims online, 100% natural wooden sunglasses are subject to bloating and may deform.
Quality Check
The final step is a thorough quality check, where each pair of wood sunglasses is inspected for durability, craftsmanship, and quality defects.
The main mission is to make a healthier and better choice but quality is something that cannot be compromised on. In the end, we have a beautiful eco-friendly pair of polarized wooden sunglasses ready to go.
Comfortable and Lightweight Feel
Heavy sunglasses cause discomfort and pressure on the nose and ears if worn for longer periods. On the other hand, wood and bamboo sunglasses are comfortable to wear and have a lightweight nature. This is one of their most prominent features.
The natural lightness of the material ensures that your all-natural sunglasses sit comfortably on your face. So, you don’t have to worry about extended wear when under the sun. Continue enjoying your outdoor activities without the burden of heavy sunglasses.
Skin-Friendly and Hypoallergenic Properties
People with allergies or sensitive skin always find wooden sunglasses a superior choice. Metal and plastic frames can sometimes irritate. Whereas, the wooden frames are completely hypoallergenic. This simply means that switching to eco-friendly sunglasses will minimize skin irritation or allergic reactions.
Overall Benefits of Natural Wood Sunglasses
Wooden sunglasses are a practical choice for you if you want to combine the best of comfort with style, health benefits, and environmental benefits. Again, these sunglasses are more than just a fashion statement.
By opting for wooden sunglasses over other materials, you are upgrading your style, maximizing comfort, and now using a hypoallergenic accessory. The collection listed at Wooden Sunglasses UK is known for its durability, unique designs, and positive environmental impact it represents.
Once again, we get our materials only from FSC-certified suppliers and contribute a portion of all sales to afforestation efforts. That just means, with Renza, you are choosing a product that is good for, good for the planet, and adds you to the team making the afforestation efforts.
Research shows that more than 400 million tons of plastic are produced annually for use in different applications. Around 14 million tons of that ends up in the ocean. Forests aren’t the only thing endangered when using plastic products. Marine life is severely damaged as well.
The global sunglasses market is projected to generate a total revenue of $25.83 billion in 2024 and the annual growth rate would be 4.38%. Now, imagine that for every wooden sunglasses purchased, a tree is planted. According to statistics, our planet would be greener and healthier. It cannot be emphasized enough how a small shift can make such a massive positive impact.
In fact, the wooden eyewear market is projected to generate $65.24 billion at an annual growth rate of 4% by the forecast period 2029. What does this mean? Compare the numbers of the usual metal and plastic against wooden eyewear. It’s easy to see that many people have already hopped on the trend and are fighting climate change together.
But there is still a long way to go. Unlike regular metal and plastic sunglasses, these earth-friendly ones bring something special to the table. Go green and make the better choice!
