Libraries and shelving in Newton Mearns

What this involves
Shelving that is almost the right size looks wrong in a week. We build alcove units, wall-to-wall libraries and single bookcases to the wall as it is, including the skirting, the window and the ceiling that is not level. Shelves are thick enough for the span, and fixed so a full run of books does not sag.
Alcoves in a living room, a spare room turned into a library, or shelving along a landing.
Alcove units
Cupboards below and shelves above, scribed into chimney alcoves.
Home libraries
Wall-to-wall shelving, window seats where the opening allows, and a ladder on taller runs.
Offices and studies
Shelves, a desk height that suits the person using it, and cable gaps where you ask for them.
Painted or timber
Painted MDF or timber-faced units. The quote names the material.

Questions
Do you build bookshelves in Newton Mearns?
Yes. We measure the alcoves or the room in Newton Mearns, including skirting and any twist in the wall.
Can shelves take a heavy book collection?
Yes, if the thickness and the supports match the span. We say what the shelf is designed to hold rather than using a thin board across a wide gap.
Do you fit a library ladder?
Yes, on runs tall enough to need one, with a rail fixed into structure rather than only into plaster.
Painted or natural wood?
Either. Paint hides a lot of movement and suits alcoves. Oak or another clear finish is right when the timber is the point. We will tell you which we recommend for the room.
