One of our fine pieces of furniture has now sailed it’s way to the other side of the world to be filled with fine Australian wines. Our quality Cabinet makers and Joiners are now working on the Bespoke Kitchens and Joinery for the new Design Studio that is due to open in Spring this year. There will be 31 working appliances which consist of SUB-ZER0, WOLF and Miele.

We are going into the final stages of the build of our very beautiful new Design Studio, the scaffolding is coming down this week, we have the wood burner going in next week also, so the drying out process can begin.
We are all very excited about the new burst of custom and revenue that this exciting leap for Abbeywood Projects will bring.

We have just completed a great project for Claire Rendall www.clairerendall.com. The project involved a Kitchen, fitted wardrobes, free standing pieces and some restoration work. There was some really interesting veneer and timber combinations. We all really enjoyed it and we look forward to working with Claire again.

We are all very excited as the building work has now started on the design studio, where we will be displaying our workmanship in various different forms. Clients will be able to come and touch two fully bespoke functional kitchens with all working appliances. They will be welcomed with a cup of fresh coffee, tea or a soft drink. Maybe if you fancy it, a fresh pastry from one of the working ovens. Then onto the design experiance, where we will discuss your comission, surrounded by inspiration at Abbeywood Projects.

The Home Building and renovation show turned out to be a true success! We met some great people with fantastic projects. I just want to thank everybody who visited us, we have already priced up a substantial amout of work and we hoping to work on these projects over the coming months.

MEET THE ABBEYWOOD PROJECTS TEAM AT
THE SELF-BUILD SHOW THIS WEEKEND

Somerset-based bespoke interiors firm, Abbeywood Projects, will be exhibiting at the Homebuilding and Renovation show at the Bath and West Showground this weekend (27/28 November).
The team will be on hand to offer expertise and advice to people who are building their own homes as well as interior design and architecture professionals.
Abbeywood Projects, which is based just outside of Bath, is a leading high-end joinery and cabinet-makers, specialising in designing and building bespoke kitchens and interiors such as stair cases, window-frames and furniture for commercial and private clients all over the UK.
Adrian Jones, Managing Director of Abbeywood Projects said: “Our team of expert designers and craftsmen understand that customers want to create a beautiful home which is an individual as they are. At Abbeywood, we don’t have a range of kitchens, or interiors. Every detail from concept to creation is tailored to the customer’s style and requirements. All of our work carries a lifetime guarantee, even down to last detail of a hinge. That’s what makes us unique.”
Over 120 businesses will be exhibiting at the Homebuilding and Renovation show, with seminars, master-classes and experts on hand throughout the day to help anyone wanting to build or renovate their home. The show is open from 10am-5pm on Saturday and 10am – 4:30pm on Sunday.

Waste policy-Very Little
Sawdust.
Briquette Machine.
The briquette machine uses all of our saw dust and wood shaving waste and converts it into a sustainable and renewable source of energy; it is clean, green and 90% carbon neutral.
All of our timbers from which the briquettes are a by-product of, are from FSC certified forests.
Sawdust briquettes are produced using high pressure hydraulics. As the saw dust is compressed the resin within the sawdust leaches out, thus gluing the briquettes together. This process means that there are no additives or chemicals used in the manufacture of this product.
Sawdust briquettes (100% timber) are clean and easy to handle, with a high calorific value and a residual ash content of less than 0.5%, which can be utilized as valuable garden fertilizer. With a long burning, high heat output, they are suitable for use in solid fuel heaters, wood burning stoves, chimeneas and BBQ’s. The Briquettes burn so efficiently that produce very little or no smoke, so are also usable in smoke free zones.

Heating the workshop.
The workshop is now heated by burning the briquettes that we produce from our waste.
We have recently purchased a large industrial wood burner which circulates hot air around the workshop using large fans. We produce enough sawdust to produce enough briquettes to heat the workshop throughout the winter months. This is a good step towards helping the enviromental impact of our company.

Waste.
We throw very little away because we have facilities on site to convert our waste into a sustainable fuel. The normal domestic size wheelie bin is 250 Litres, so to put it into perspective, if our bin is full we only throw away three times more than a domestic house hold does every 2 weeks. Our bins are very rarely full.

660 litres mixed recycling- emptied every two weeks
1100 litre general waste – emptied every two weeks
