Paint

All our paint comes from a specialist paint supplier and is a durable and sprayable 2 part lacquer paint mix that we mix ourselves. We do not use paint that is bought off the shelf from a DIY store. This is a similar sheen to an eggshell finish. 

Eggshell finish is a paint with a soft, low-sheen appearance, similar to the surface of an eggshell. It falls between a flat and a satin finish, offering a subtle shine that adds a subtle warmth and depth to a room.

All our handmade furniture is available in the paint colours that are shown above. If you find an item and it is not listed in one of these colours above just select a paint colour that is listed in the SAME GROUP and please add a note in the special instructions of which colour you would like. DARK COLOURS and SPECIAL COLOURS do cost a little extra so please add a colour from the SAME GROUP to get the correct price..

CUSTOMERS OWN HANDLES

We supply all our furniture with WOODEN KNOBS as standard but we can fit your own handles on to your cupboard here at our workshop before delivery. We just ask that you to send them to us with a note of your NAME and ORDER NUMBER to the address below.  You will get an email from me asking you to send your handles if we have not already had them at the time that the machining starts. We do not drill any holes for handles until further down the manufacturing line (once it is constructed and prior to painting they are drilled and fitted, they are then removed and then put back on once painted ready for delivery). If you do send them sooner rather than later this is also not a problem as I have a storage area for customers own handles that are all labelled up. Bar handles are not a problem either. We will just need your handles to do the drilling and fitting when the time arises. 

Unfortunately this can not be done by our driver on your delivery day in your home, but you can fit your handles yourselves once the delivery has been made if you prefer.

The vertical door rails where the handles are fitted on our cupboards are 65 mm wide.

SUGGESTED SIZES

HOW WE MANUFACTURE

All our furniture is made using solid timber - no MDF, plywood or man made boards are used, even when painted. We use a Kreg® Pocket-Hole Machine to construct cabinet furniture, bookshelves, tables etc with multiple joints in a professional way. It drills a pilot hole and counterbore at a 15-degree angle into the timber without the use of glue, nails and screws on the outside what can be on view, look very unsightly and not very strong. It enables us to construct furniture from the inside instead of the outside. Our time served cabinet makers have used this for many many years and it gives the best strength and most stable construction out there. These pilot holes are visible on the inside side edge.
