The biggest problem: surfaces that don't belong together

On most fit-outs the floor, panelling, doors and joinery come from different suppliers, each finished its own way: an oiled floor, lacquered panels, a satin door, gloss joinery, all brushed differently. We carry the same species, brushing, gloss and coating across every surface, with tones chosen to complement each other, all prefinished at the mill.

Four suppliers, four finishes, brought to one finish specificationOn a typical fit-out the floor, wall panelling, doors and joinery come from four suppliers, each with a different coating, gloss and brushing. Kindred carries the same species, brushing and gloss across every surface, prefinished at the mill.TYPICAL FIT-OUT · FOUR SUPPLIERSKINDRED · CONSIDERED AND COMPLEMENTARYFloorSupplier A · hardwax oil, matt, wire-brushedWall panellingSupplier B · stained, satin lacquerDoorsSupplier C · walnut veneer, semi-glossJoinerySupplier D · clear lacquer, gloss, smoothKINDREDFinishspecificationSpecies · brushing · gloss · toneFloorSame species, brushing and glossWall panellingSame species, brushing and glossDoorsSame species, brushing and glossJoinerySame species, brushing and glossFour suppliers with different coatings, gloss and brushing, brought to one Kindred finish specificationTYPICAL FIT-OUTFloorOiledPanellingSatinDoorsSemi-glossJoineryGlossKINDREDFinish specificationSpecies · brushing · gloss · toneFloorSame finishPanellingSame finishDoorsSame finishJoinerySame finishKINDRED · PREFINISHED AT THE MILL

The other problems we solve

  1. The problemLater stages and refurbishments drift from the show apartment.

    What we doSigned master samples stay on file at the mill, so later stages and refurbishments are made to them.

  2. The problemWhen something's wrong on site, four suppliers point at each other.

    What we doOne project lead and one warranty cover all the timber.

  3. The problemProduct arrives late, or all at once, and sits on site.

    What we doProduction is booked to your programme and shipped floor by floor, in the order you build.

  4. The problemThe specified timber gets swapped for a cheaper lookalike late in procurement.

    What we doNothing is substituted without your sign-off. The designer's specification is what arrives.
