Questions, answered
The things carpenters and homeowners ask us most. Still stuck? WhatsApp us.
How can I get my kitchen or bedroom furniture made?
Bring your design or cutting list to any branch and we cut the boards to your exact sizes and edge them. We also stock the hardware and wall panelling to finish the job. No carpenter? We will put you in touch with one.
Can I get a quote for my project?
Yes. Send your cutting list to your branch from this website, visit or call the branch, or WhatsApp us on 078 706 0895 and we will put you through to the branch closest to you.
What is a cutting list and why do I need one?
A cutting list is every part of your project with its length, width, quantity and the edges that need edging. It is what the saw runs from. Build one with our cutting list tool; it shows how the parts fit on the sheets and how much edging you need.
Which way does the grain run?
On wood grains and some patterns the length of a part runs with the grain, along the 2750 mm side of the sheet. Plain colours have no grain, so we may turn those parts to save board.
Do you sell hardware fittings?
Yes: hinges, drawer runners, handles, legs, sinks, wire ware, adhesives, tools and more. See all hardware.
Can any branch help me?
Yes. Every branch cuts, edges and stocks hardware and panelling, and can help with your cutting list and quote. Find your branch.
Do you offer carpenter services?
We connect you with trusted carpenters through your nearest branch. Ask for a carpenter.
Which boards and colours can I choose from?
Innowood melamine, Chrometree Gloss and Chrometree SilkTouch in many colours, plus counter tops, foil, acrylic mirror, MDF and PVC waterproof board. Browse every board or try them on a kitchen in Finish Studio.
Can I buy boards without a cutting list?
Yes. You can buy full sheets and hardware at any branch, and some products online.
