We recently won the Master Joiners Best Region Award for Wellington
Project: Ranui Cresent
Our client came to us with photos they’d sourced online and asked us to design a kitchen that incorporated ideas from the photos. They wanted a galley kitchen and since the ceiling height was almost 4m, we established a working height of 2700mm to the top of the kitchen.
Features include a 250mm high bulkhead above the hob which let us hide the ducting for the range hood which needed to be brought into a hall cupboard behind the kitchen wall.
As this kitchen is for a family with young children, we incorporated bar type seating at the back, plus storage under the bench for the children’s toys and games.
Master Joiners Best Compliant Timber Joinery Award – another great win for WHJ
We’re very proud of this job and the fact that it won a compliance award which acknowledges our attention to detail and working towards the highest standards.
Here are some specifics about the project. If you’d like to understand more about what we did and what it means for the beauty and longevity of the home, contact us.
This project was a brand new, multi million dollar house that was built over two large sections. The architect’s plans specified joinery made from premium grade cedar, including the frames and exterior facings.
We custom made all the jambs and sills for this job from cedar. Prior to manufacture, we spent time with the architect ensuring that all sills would tie in with each other across the varied items.
We made the doors out of laminated Saligna, which allowed us to have such large doors, while keeping within the constraints of the NZS4211 standard for the performance testing of individual windows and doors for exterior use. All joinery was pre-coated with Sikkons, prior to delivery to site.The final coats were applied after the joinery was installed and glazed.
We used the Thermawood glazing system for all the double glazed panes. This system has been tested for compliance with NZS4211 and ensures the double glazing will perform as required, with full warranty.
