We love it when we get a request from a customer to make a new product. This recently came from a company in QLD who makes furniture for use in aged care homes. They needed to make a round side/coffee table and wanted the table to have 4 turned legs on it that also had a fluted feature in the turned section of the leg.
We have been manufacturing fence post capitals for many years, and over this period of time we have seen a number of changes as to the types of colours that they get painted.
If you were to think of a stair balustrade with turned timber balusters in it, then you would probably be imagining stairs built in the 1980's and 90's that would have the treads, handrail and balusters all stained and polished in a natural timber finish.
Not only are dark, dated and narrow staircases a bit of an eyesore, but they can affect the resale value of your home (especially if it’s located in the living area or entryway). While replacing an entire staircase would be a costly endeavor, there are plenty of budget friendly options that can improve the function and appearance of a narrow stairway.
If you are landing on this web page, then I am guessing that you are interested in doing a wire balustrade, which probably means that you already know what a wire balustrade is, but just in case this is not the case, maybe the best place for me to start is to very briefly explain exactly what it is.
Round tapered timber legs are all the rage at the moment, and as a result we have been selling a heap through our online shop.
The photos below were sent to us by a customer, and they show the sort of furniture you can create using our legs, leg plates and adjustable swivel glide.
Did you know that more accidents happen on stairways than anywhere else in the house?
If you’ve ever lived in a home without a stair rail (or even a wobbly, uneven one), this statistic probably doesn’t surprise you. Therefore, handrails are considered an essential safety inclusion in any two story or split level home- so it’s important to install one as soon as possible. If not for the sake of yourself, then certainly for any young/elderly relatives you might live with.
A few years back on a trip to Vancouver we dropped in to see a timber manufacturing business that we had been sourcing products through for about a decade.
