Frequently Asked Questions about Built-in shelving in Crediton
What's the difference vs freestanding bookcases?
Built-in shelving is constructed in place to fit your exact room dimensions, scribed to follow walls and fitted floor to ceiling. It becomes part of the room. Freestanding units sit in the room with gaps around them.
Can it be fitted in old houses with uneven walls?
Yes - that's where built-in really beats freestanding. I scribe each piece to follow your walls, no matter how wonky. Old Crediton properties with bowed walls are fine.
What materials are used?
Typically MDF or plywood for painted finishes. Veneered boards for stained finishes. Solid timber for premium natural wood look. Depends on budget and desired finish.
Can it include cupboards and drawers?
Yes - built-in can incorporate closed storage as well as open shelving. Cupboards below with shelves above is a classic combination. The design is completely flexible.
