Joinery and Carpentry in Johnstone
Cunningham builds (joinery), a building and joinery business based in Port Glasgow, covers joinery and carpentry in Johnstone and the surrounding areas. Traditionally a joiner makes doors, windows, stairs and fitted furniture and a carpenter fixes structural timber in place, though in practice most do both.
What is the difference between joinery and carpentry?
Broadly, a joiner makes the pieces builders in Johnstone and a carpenter installs them, though most do both. Fitted units, stairs, doors and windows are joinery work; roof timbers, floors and partitions are carpentry.
Cunningham builds (joinery) combines building with joinery and carpentry. Door fitting, custom units and repairs to existing woodwork are all part of it.
What does bespoke carpentry mean?
It means woodwork made to measure for one space rather than bought off the shelf: fitted wardrobes, alcove units, stairs or doors built to the actual dimensions of the room. In older houses with walls that are out of true, that fit is most of the point.
Which kind of extension suits a Johnstone house?
Single storey, double storey and wrap-around extensions are all built by Cunningham builds (joinery). A single storey addition is where most open kitchens come from, while a second storey adds bedrooms without giving up more garden.
Wrap-around extensions join the side return to the rear and work best where there is ground on two sides. What the space is for, and what the plot allows, decide it.
What are the three types of carpentry?
A common split is rough or structural carpentry, finish carpentry, and joinery or cabinet making. In UK site terms that roughly maps to first fix, second fix and bench joinery. Roofs, floors and stud walls are first fix; doors, skirtings and architraves are second fix.
What goes into laying a hardwood floor properly?
The subfloor decides the life of a timber floor. It must be level, firm and dry, and concrete should be moisture tested before anything goes down. Wood moves with the seasons, so an expansion gap round the edge is not optional.
Cunningham builds (joinery) installs hardwood flooring with carpentry experience behind it, sanded, sealed and finished. That includes herringbone.
