Menuiserie Exemple
Describe my project
A straight staircase in solid oak with a stringer and square balusters, along a pale rendered wall, on a grey stone floor.

Made-to-measure joinery, from the workshop to the installation

Menuiserie Exemple designs, makes and installs staircases, fitted joinery and exterior woodwork, one piece at a time.

Projects

Six pieces from the workshop. Each photo opens large, with the details of the piece.

A floor-to-ceiling oak bookcase: four bays of shelves above low cupboards with solid doors.
Detail of an oak balustrade: a rounded handrail joined into a square post with chamfered edges.
A front door in pale oak with vertical boards and a black iron handle, in a stone frame.
An ash dressing room under the eaves, doors cut to the pitch of the roof, one door open onto shelves and a hanging rail.
A wall-hung walnut vanity unit with two handleless drawers, a stone basin on the top.
A two-leaf oak window with glazing bars, between two solid shutters with vertical boards, on a stone façade.

Four steps, always in the same order

From the first visit to the installation, you know at each step what comes next.

1Visit

We come to see the site, take the measurements and understand how you expect to use the piece.

2Plan

We draw the piece and present it to you: you approve the shapes, the wood and the finish before it is made.

3Making

The piece is cut, assembled and finished in the workshop, one part at a time, from the approved plan.

4Installation

We install the piece at your home, adjust it on site and leave the site clean.
The corner of an oak carcase joined with through dovetails, on the workbench next to a wood chisel and a few shavings.

The woods we work with

The wood is chosen with you, according to the use, the light in the room and the tone you are after.

OakHard and durable, with a pronounced grain: staircases, doors, worktops.
AshPale and springy, it brightens storage and rooms under the roof.
WalnutDeep brown with a fine grain: the piece of furniture you look at.
BeechTight and even, it suits curved pieces and furniture interiors.

Area covered

Within a radius of about forty kilometres around the workshop, installation included.

A staircase, storage, a door to redo?

A few measurements and two or three photos are enough for a first conversation.
