Our materials

Choosing the right material is fundamental to the performance, appearance and cost of any furniture project. At GB Projects, we work with an extensive range of materials, including laminates, natural veneers, solid timber, MDF, MFC, plywood, solid surfaces and specialist substrates. With decades of manufacturing experience and extensive in-house capabilities, we understand how different materials behave in production and can help specify the right solution for the application, environment and budget.

Solid surface

Solid surfaces offer a combination of durability & design flexibility, making them ideal for demanding commercial environments. Materials such as Corian can be machined, thermoformed and seamlessly joined to create worktops, counters, reception desks and complex bespoke features. As an experienced solid surface fabricator, GB Projects has the specialist knowledge and in-house capabilities to manufacture solid surface components and finished furniture to demanding specifications.

Plywood

Strong, versatile and increasingly used as a feature material in its own right, plywood is well suited to a wide range of commercial furniture applications. Its layered construction provides excellent structural properties, while exposed edges can become an integral part of the design. We machine and finish plywood for everything from furniture components and seating to retail displays and complete bespoke products.

Solid timber

Few materials offer the natural character and quality of solid timber. We work with a wide range of species, including oak, walnut, ash and beech, machining and finishing solid timber in house for furniture, components and specialist applications. Our manufacturing experience allows us to account for the natural variation and movement of timber while achieving the accuracy, consistency and finish required for commercial production.

High pressure laminates

High pressure laminate combines durability with an almost limitless choice of colours, textures and finishes. Applied to a range of substrates, it provides a hard-wearing surface suitable for furniture used in demanding commercial environments. Our in-house laminating, CNC machining and edging capabilities allow us to manufacture everything from individual components to more complex joinery projects.

Veneers

Natural veneers bring the warmth, character and individuality of real timber to commercial furniture, with a huge variety of species, grains and finishes available. From large feature panels, boardroom tables and cabinetry to complex shaped components, veneer can be selected and matched for the task in hand. With veneering, CNC machining and finishing capabilities in-house, we control the complete manufacturing process.
