Custom printed MFC sheets

Rick Marland — Wed, 08 Jul 2015 16:13:22 +0000

For this unusual project we had to reproduce some cupboards to match an existing design, the cupboards had a custom pattern MFC board which was unavailable, so we had to reproduce it using a large 8×10 foot inkjet printer. We copied the pattern from an existing drawer unit and redrew as a vector image to ensure crisp lines on the finished printed product.

For this commission the residential client wanted a sleek modern beech veneered front door. The door has been fitted with high end fittings and a custom made aluminium anodised handle. The door was given a special UV resistant finish to help protect the delicate veneer from the elements.

Earlier this year we made over 100 curved arm bases for cinema chairs, moulded in two halves so that fabric and cushioning can be fitted to the faces by the chair manufacturer. They are made from high quality birch veneer pressed in a custom built mould, faced in rubber with steel mounting holes.

Case Study One

In 2013 we had the great pleasure of working with a Guernsey Interior design company on this contemporary high-end house built on Guernsey. For this project we had to produce a range of different furniture pieces, the study had floor to ceiling storage units finished in oak veneer with wall paneling. A sleek matching desk and pedestal help compliment the minimal style of the room.

We also produced all the bathroom vanity units for the three bathrooms, the bedroom dressing table and wall paneling plus bedside cabinets. The bedrooms were joined by a 30ft long walk in wardrobe with full height storage units. Some of the internal doors and all the skirting were also produced and finished by us. Finally we were also commissioned by the client to make and design a table for the entrance hall made in a traditional style with veneer inlay, as they had unsuccessfully tried to find a similar antique piece.

One of our older commissions that helps show the diverse range of projects we get to work on. This was the second shop fit-out we had produced for these clients. The design needed to be highly practical, hard wearing with large amounts of storage and areas to display products, at the same time it also required a style that created a warm friendly and inviting environment for their customers. The units are made from oak veneered board, with solid bullnose lippings, black Corrian worktops, laminated facias and a couple of light boxes for shop logo.

Case Study Three

The client had very specific requirements for the bank reception area including special bomb resistant glass for the main entrance doorway, high security veneered panel doors to match the hidden storage wall units behind the reception desk. The reception desk had to look like one long section and could only be supported on two feet, this required substantial internal frames to ensure the desk would not sag and show any jointing lines. The desk, storage wall and doors are all finished in walnut veneer with 25% matt gloss lacquered finish.

We also produced all skirting and joinery including doors and frames throughout the flats. Materials and finishes included walnut and beech veneers and high gloss painted doors.
