- Sustainability
- Manufactured board: this would a very
sustainable material from which to make
my product as many types are recycled
- Softwood: these are much less
expensive to buy as they grow much
more quickly, therefore they are a
much more sustainable source for my
product.

soure as hardwood trees take a long
time to grow.
- Materials and Components
- Wood
- Hardwood
- A hardwood could be a much better
choise for a bathroom setting as it is
slightly more water resistant than
various other woods.
- Hardwoods however are
prone to warping, some
contain acid which can
corrode steel whice could
damadge any hindges or
handles in the product.
- Softwood
- The benefits of using a soft wood are that it
has a nice colour and grain pattern and it
grows quickly, it is also light weight.
- However softwood is prone to
warping an knots can fall out and leave
holes, taking away from the over all
look of the product.
- Manufactured boards
- However the majoraty of
hardwoods are not good
around water and soak a
lot of it up and some types
of manufactured board
are not very strong and
often
- Manufactured boards could be an
inexpensive alternative and canbe
laminated and are plywood is
good around water.
- Performance requirements
- Able to store bottles
and jars and heave
them easily accesed.
- Have suitable areas for the storage
of hairdryers, straightners etc.
- Able to be mounted on a
wall to save space. the wall
on which I intend to put the
product is m wide and so the
product will have to fit this.
