Materials and Finishes
Choosing the right materials ensures performance and a long-lasting finish. We advise on:
- Solid timber and sheet goods: Oak, ash, pine, birch ply, MDF, and moisture-resistant boards depending on use and budget.
- Moisture resistance: Correct substrates and sealants for kitchens, utilities, and bathrooms.
- Hardware and fixings: Quality hinges, runners, and brackets sized for load and frequency of use.
- Finishes: Paint, lacquer, oil, or stain—specified for durability and cleanability.
- Compliance & neatness: Clean edges, scribed skirtings, and safe working in occupied spaces.
