UV Foliage

Commercial Silk International’s UV (Ultraviolet) artificial foliage is created through a process by which ultraviolet blocking chemicals are impregnated into the materials during the manufacturing process. These chemicals are blended with the fabric as well as the plastic or PVC parts. Our outdoor foliages have been tested for colorfastness according to ASTM G155-05, and after one year of UV exposure equivalent to Miami, Florida, our product had NO COLOR LOSS visible by sight.

Trunk: Natural Wood Stem
Commercial Silk International uses only the finest wood trunks from specialized harvesters in the building of our artificial trees. All of our trunks are hand selected for each artificial tree we build. By hand selecting each trunk, we are able to combine the exact shapes needed to achieve the desired look of the tree. In addition, having our main manufacturing facility located in the Midwest, provides us with access to tree varieties not elsewhere found in the United States. This provides our clients with distinctive, one-of-a-kind artificial trees.

Trunk: Sculpted Stem
Our sculpted stems are entirely hand made by skilled artists to replicate authentic looking real trees.
