28 August 2017

Different methods and types of custom joinery for your retail shop cabinets, showcases, counters and shelving can equip your merchandise sales and storage areas with more style, functionality and usable space. While providing the necessary strength and durability to support the weight and daily wear and tear of ongoing use in a busy store setting, expert joinery can definitely save much-needed space in your product display and selling areas. It can also lend ongoing stability to counter drawers and shelving that lifts or slides to accommodate additional storage of merchandise. Edges and corners of handsome timber shop furniture and display setups that have expert joinery will provide long-term, steady use while remaining intact and secure, even with heavy usage.

Different Types of Popular Joinery Frequently Used in Retail Shop Furnishings

Varied types of joinery frequently used today in retail shop furnishings and displays include the following:

  • Mortise and Tenon. – This classic style of wood joinery is one of the most often used methods in current furniture design and production, although it has been used since the earliest days of woodworking. Used in sturdy Mission Style furniture, this type of joinery is often used to secure stiles on frame or panel cabinet doors or aprons to table legs. It is handy for joining pieces of wood at a 90 degree angle. Often cut with a table saw, mortise and tenon joints can also be made with use of a router.
  • Dado. – This square-grooved cut-out or slot in a board is sized to accommodate another board. This type of joinery can be ideal for setting partitions in cabinet interiors or securing shelving in place on wall units. It can also be helpful for constructing panel or frame style doors and securing the bottoms of cabinet drawers.
  • Rabbet. – This joinery style is most often used for securing back boarding onto the rear frames of cases. Using this method, boards are secured together by removing a portion of the thickness of one board for inset of the second board.
  • Dovetail Joint. – This box-style joint uses diagonally cut areas to lock finger forms together. There are varied styles of Dovetail joints, including the Sliding Dovetail and the Box Joint, a simple finger joint. Dovetail joints are the strongest type of joinery used in popular cabinetry and shelving construction. The Sliding Dovetail joint is the most versatile style in common use today.
