Shopfitting

Shopfitting timber is used in the construction and installation of interior retail environments, including display units, shelving, counters, wall panelling, storage systems and bespoke point-of-sale fixtures. It is widely applied in shops, showrooms, hospitality spaces and commercial interiors where functionality must be combined with strong visual presentation and consistent branding.

This application requires timber that is stable, easy to machine and capable of achieving a high-quality finish, whether painted, stained or veneered, while also withstanding frequent handling and commercial wear. Species such as European Oak and American White Oak are commonly used for premium shopfitting due to their strength, attractive grain and long-term durability. Sapele and Utile provide a refined, consistent appearance with good stability, making them ideal for high-end fitted interiors. European Redwood, European Whitewood and Radiata Pine offer cost-effective, versatile solutions for painted fixtures and modular shopfitting systems, while Poplar is often used for concealed structures due to its light weight and ease of machining.
