Not only is our service first class, but now we can proudly say that our products are too! If you’ve ever visited the Qantas lounge in Brisbane airport, you may have seen some of our 40mm half dowel being used as part of a feature wall.
While our cabriole legs have always been a hit amongst our customers, I don’t think we’ve ever seen a customer quite as satisfied with the finished product as this. This very adorable, spoiled pooch is the perfect spokesperson for our cabriole legs, and his owners can attest to just how easy they were to install.
We absolutely love it when customers send us photos of their finished projects.
Once products leave our shelves we rarely know where they end up, or how they’re assembled, and from time to time it piques our curiosity. So if you, or someone you know, has purchased products from us for a job in the past (or are planning to use them in the future), we urge you to send us some snaps via email to: sales@hammersmith.com.au.
Newel posts, like the ones pictured above, are used to structurally support the end of a balustrade on a staircase. We stock a variety of posts in different styles and sizes online and in store to suit most staircases. But what if your staircase isn’t like most staircases? What if you’re building a grand staircase?
Timber dowel handrail is most commonly used on stairways and ramps, but is actually quite a versatile product. In the past, we’ve seen people using timber handrail as ballet bars in dance studios, or as a part of art projects, but we’ve never seen our handrail used quite like this before!
We’ve been manufacturing curtain rings since the 1960's, with the demand for them waxing and waning as styles have come in and out of fashion, and cheaper imported alternatives have been introduced to the market. Still, our curtain rings have remained a permanent fixture in our store thanks to demand from our customers for Australian made products.
Galvanised pipe fittings are most commonly used for hand railing and safety guarding, but did you know they can also be used on a variety of other projects?
Recently, the Hahndorf Soap Factory used some of our fittings to build an industrial style shelving unit for their Adelaide Hills shop. As you can see, these fittings are not only durable, but functional and modern. With industrial style furniture coming back into fashion, there’s never been a better time to try your hand at a DIY project as no welding is required! If you're interested in creating a similar furniture pieces, why not take a look at our step by step guide to building a coffee table using galvanised pipes and fittings?
Over the years we have had a number of different customers ask us if our Number 1 turned baluster is called this because it is our best seller. The simple answer is no, but the reason behind it has a story to it.
One size does not necessarily fit all!
