Take a glance around you; you may have seen wooden furniture and yet do not know what joinery is? This happens with many.
Until they get their places built/renovated, many people do not know what exactly commercial joinery is.
Joinery, by definition, refers to the act of joining or attaching two things. This may be used in building furniture, providing flare with the old wooden piece that is passed on to you from generations, or anything that involves wood.
Commercial joinery, as the name suggests, refers to building wood items that are to be set up in a commercial space- Offices, Hotels, or cafes, etc.
Commercial joiners, to put it differently, are wooden architects. They build you wooden or timber stairs, windows, or any wooden intricate piece you can think of, by nailing/gluing/screwing the wooden planks together.
Who Is A Carpenter Then?
Having read that definition of Commercial Joiner, you may be trying to run the services of a carpenter in your mind and connect the dots.
Commercial Joinery focuses on ‘creating’ the pieces- staircase, cabinets, while carpentry is focused on 'fitting’ them on the construction site.
Commercial joinery builds what the carpenter installs in the under-construction building. So whilst the commercial joinery takes place in a workshop, carpentry takes place on the construction site.
Why Commercial Joinery?
When you visit a place, especially a hotel, you know how much the furniture at the reception area shapes your perception of that place.

Having a piece that is attractive and useful (in terms of storage) is the cherry on the cake. It shows how well the place is organized and designed.

It ensures that the wooden structures of your place are well joined for your safety.
