Custom finishes and paintwork – thanks to untreated natural pine
Untreated pine arrives without factory coatings, leaving wood pores accessible for direct staining, varnishing, oiling or waxing. The open surface accepts a wide range of finishes and sealants for colour or sheen control.
Complete control over final appearance allows matching to existing décor, from bright painted wardrobes to deep stained furniture. Finish choice also determines durability for different internal uses.
Improved airflow while preserving privacy – with slatted vented design
A louvre construction uses angled slats to create airflow channels while limiting direct sight lines. The vented open layout permits circulation without fully exposing contents.
Helps reduce mustiness in enclosed cupboards and wardrobes and keeps stored items airing, while still concealing belongings from view. Useful where ventilation helps fabric and shoe storage.
Versatile fitting for cabinetry and furniture – with a universal grid frame
