Why Custom Joinery is the Best

Whether your home requires an extension or renovation, there are many things to take into consideration. Generally, home improvement includes re-carpeting, new appliances or adding extra storage space. But there are various types of home improvement projects that are not usually thought of. Unfortunately, some homeowners can overlook essential features that will give their home a nice finishing touch such as wood joinery.

Wood Joinery

Wood joinery goes back thousands of years. In fact, historical techniques are well documented in Chinese, Japanese, Indian and European cultures. To preserve the art, many of these techniques have been handed down through the centuries through family members and friends. Traditional wood joinery techniques generally used only wood and did not rely on mechanical fasteners or adhesives. In fact, one of the oldest complex joints is the Dovetail. The Dovetail was utilized over 5 thousand years ago. The wood joint was prevalent in Egyptian and Indian furniture during the first dynasties.

Today joinery is still considered an art that involves joining together pieces of wood to create complex and beautiful items. Some joinery is still done the traditional way by using only wood. Other modern techniques involve using glue, fasteners, bindings or adhesives.

Techniques that are not considered traditional joinery are sometimes called pocket hole joinery and biscuit joints. But nonetheless, modern custom joinery is considered an art that requires expertise, superb craftsmanship and knowledge.

Why Custom Joinery?

Whether you are renovating a kitchen, bathroom, vanity, a built-in wardrobe or refreshing existing cabinetry, custom joinery is an essential element that adds value to your home. With custom joinery services you can create a décor that matches your specifications and personal taste.

Traditional custom made joinery is quite adventitious in the restoration and preservation of historical homes and buildings. It is also stronger and more durable than modern joinery that uses glues and fasteners. This is because the wood contracts and expands differently than modern joinery. It is best to use custom made traditional joinery in the restoration of historical buildings or homes. Sometimes both traditional and modern joinery techniques are used to combine wooden joints and elements with modern bonding agents.

With newer building and homes, both traditional and modern custom joinery are used in repairs and preservation by matching the existing architecture or structure. As well, custom joinery can be uniquely applied to a wide variety of items that require expertise such as staircases, box sash windows, sliding bi-fold doors, porches, conservatories, doors, bookcases and much more.

Quality Makes a Difference

When it comes to joinery, some people take the less expensive route. However, the likelihood of nothing fitting or matching is quite high. Plus the cost of having to redo projects that are not professionally done is outrageous.

Custom made products are specifically made to last and are designed around the specifications of your home. As well, custom joinery is much sturdier and is known to last for centuries. Additionally, custom joinery ensures quality and authenticity by matching all existing construction techniques and materials. Moreover, custom made joinery adds tremendous value to your home. Not just in market value but in aesthetics.
