What happens between an approved drawing and finished joinery on site? A look at the stages of in-house joinery manufacturing.
Custom joinery is more than cutting wood. Between the design drawing and the finished interior there are several stages, each one affecting quality and fit.
1. Drawings and specifications
Design drawings are reviewed against site dimensions, materials and hardware. Shop drawings translate the design into buildable details.
2. Material preparation
Boards, timber and veneers are selected and prepared to suit the specification and the environment the joinery will live in.
3. Fabrication
Panels are cut, machined, edged and assembled. Precision at this stage determines how well joints, reveals and doors align on site.
4. Detailing and finishing
Hardware, fittings and finishes are applied, and each item is checked before it leaves the workshop.
5. Delivery and coordination
Finished joinery is packed and delivered in coordination with the project programme.
Having manufacturing in-house means design questions can be resolved directly with the people making the joinery.
