6 Australian Made Joinery Options For Your Next Fitout
The term ‘joinery’ refers to elements within a space that are considered fixed to the structure. Such elements typically include cabinets, cupboards, benches, storage cabinets, and more.
When you’re setting up an office space or a high-end boutique retail environment, these elements don’t just appear with the building. In order to create an environment that facilitates productivity and a positive mood, you will need to have them designed and constructed by a fit out construction team to specifically meet your needs.
Joinery is different from construction in that the latter usually involves building or altering the structure of a building, not its internal fixtures. These days, both joiners and construction workers tend to use a variety of materials to carry out their work, including timber, laminate, MDF, and more.
Joinery is a specialised skill. If you run a boutique store, just consider how important the quality of your cabinets is — customers tend to see them as a direct reflection of the quality of your products. Don’t fall into the trap of trusting a general carpenter to carry out your joinery work. Instead, collaborate with a construction fit out team like Ramvek to benefit from specialist advice and skill.
Still not sure exactly what a joiner can do for your construction fit out project? Here are a few products and fittings a general contactor might recommend you consider:
Reception Counters
Whether you’re planning to fit out a co-working space or your own dedicated office, a reception counter is a must-have. It’s the first thing potential clients will see when they walk through the door and is your chance to create a positive impression.
A reception counter needs to walk the fine line between functional and aesthetically pleasing. If you have an established visual brand, elements of this can also be incorporated into the joinery by your fit out construction team.
Feature Walls
Looking for a way to liven up your space? A feature wall could be the answer.
Simply put, a feature wall is one that acts as a focal point in the room, drawing attention to a particular set of products or even just your company name. Feature walls can be implemented in diverse spaces, from office settings to retail environments. Say no to boring flat walls and hello to a talking point that will engage clients and employees.
Feature Ceilings
Feature ceilings act similarly to feature walls, providing a focal point on which all attention will be focused. They’re all quite difficult to design and construct, which is why a feature ceiling is a joinery option best left to the professionals. Ramvek has plenty of experience designing and constructing bespoke ceilings that really add something to your space.
It will come as no surprise that joinery is fairly important in a hospitality setting. Cabinets, benches and storage cupboards are an essential feature of a cafe or restaurant and are as much about aesthetics as they are about creating a functional space. High-quality materials and careful design decisions should be combined to achieve a branded, modern experience.
Your products could be made from the finest materials in the world but when displayed in a generic, cheaply made cabinet, customers are unlikely to appreciate the quality.
You need storage cupboards and display cabinets that accurately reflect the calibre of your product line, enabling your merchandise to truly shine. Ramvek has worked with countless retail stores, from much loved Australian chains to high-end fashion boutiques, and understands the type of retail joinery options that will reflect best on your products.
Workplace Joinery
Employee expectations of their workplace have risen over the past few years, particularly since a significant portion of that time has been spent in the home office. Why not treat them to the office environment they deserve by investing in high-quality workplace joinery? A feature wall, inbuilt desks and open plan space constructed by an experienced general contractor could be exactly what they need to convince them of the benefits of office life.
