Conwy is a county of Victorian resort terraces, stone cottages and a strong holiday-let market. That is exactly the kind of building stock a hardwood arch has to be drawn around, so we allow for it at survey stage rather than on fitting day — walls get checked for wind and plumb, floors for level, and the setting-out is taken from the worst reading, not the best.
How we approach it
The difference between a fitted job and a fitted-looking job is the setting out. For hardwood arches in Conwy we rod the job first, so what arrives on site already accounts for the bows, the skirting and the ceiling line.
How we build it
Carcass work is birch ply or MR MDF depending on span and load. Face frames and doors are solid hardwood. Everything is machined on the same setting so stiles, rails and reveals line through, and shadow gaps stay parallel from one end of the run to the other.
Finish and materials
You can have it primed for your own decorator, sprayed in any RAL or heritage colour, or left in oiled timber. Oiled finishes can be refreshed at home; sprayed finishes are harder wearing and are what we recommend for kitchens and anything at knee height.

Straight answers
Hardwood Arches in Conwy — common questions
Does an arched frame cost much more than a square one?
Yes, because of the former and the laminating time. The former is the fixed cost, so a pair of matching arches is proportionally cheaper than one.
What timber laminates best?
Oak and sapele both bend well in thin leaves. For exterior work accoya laminates well and is very stable once formed.
How is the springing detailed?
The curve meets the jamb at a proper springing line with the joint cut on the radius. A curve that dies into a straight without a defined springing looks unresolved.
What curves can you make?
Semicircular, segmental, elliptical, gothic and flat-arched. An ellipse needs a purpose-made former, so we set that out from the survey rather than approximating with a compound radius.
How long does a bespoke job take from order to fitting?
Most fitted furniture runs four to eight weeks from approved drawings to fitting day. Kitchens, staircases and timber windows are longer at eight to fourteen weeks because the components are larger and the finishing schedule is longer. We give you a date band at quotation and confirm the fitting week once the drawings are signed off.
