Cabinets
Over the years, Carl Hughes Carpenter & Joiner has crafted some truly stunning and individual bespoke cabinets, sideboards, display cabinets, multimedia and television entertainment cabinets. When it comes to bespoke cabinets, Carl really can make clients anything you require to your specified height, width, depth, style and finish to suit any budget, including entomology cabinets. Following your initial enquiry, Carl will discuss your requirements. Carl offers an “at home” service, where he brings samples for your perusal in the comfort of your own home and takes into consideration the size and style of the room to be used. Carl then designs a bespoke cabinet and presents clients with a computer aided visualisation of the proposed cabinet. Carl also gives clients a detailed quotation of the proposed cabinet project with highly competitive prices, as he does not have expensive showroom overheads and passes on his trade discounts to all clients.
Carl can design a bespoke cabinet to be free standing, wall mounted or fitted. Bespoke cabinet finishes include wood or wood veneered materials, that can be left natural or stained to enhance its natural elegance, mdf, which can be painted to blend in seamlessly with your existing decoration or with vinyl wrapped, vacuum sealed post form doors, which are approved by Fira and come with a five year manufacturer’s guarantee. Carl can include colour co-ordinated shelves, glass shelves, mirrored or glass backed cabinets to enhance the display properties of your bespoke cabinet. Carl ensures shelves have the correct weight capacity for its intended use and can fit shelves into a fixed position, ensuring the spacing between shelves meets clients’ needs or design shelves to have flexible fitting positions. Carl can install castors, decorative furniture feet or a co-ordinating plinth to the bottom of a cabinet.
The cabinet doors Carl fits can be sliding, retractable or hinged with a choice of traditional cabinet hinges, soft closing hinges or powered hinges for a more luxurious feel. Carl also fits cabinet locks where required to increase security of anything stored inside. Visit our partners, – leaders in fashionable footwear!
Carl includes forward thinking storage ideas within his bespoke cabinets. Plasma or LCD televisions can be disguised as a bookcase or storage cupboard and with the flick of a switch your television pops up out of the cabinet. Vertical sliding doors are a further quirky method of concealing high value possessions, such as plasma and LCD televisions, which when fitted on a hinged bracket can be viewed regardless of the position of the cabinet within a room. A gun cabinet or safe can also be concealed within other bespoke cabinets, to give the impression of a piece of furniture, without revealing what is really inside. To extend this further, false panels can be utilised.
Carl can integrate lighting and electrical sockets into cabinets and will liaise with an electrician of your choice or with a local independent electrician, at no additional charge, ensuring the project runs smoothly.
