How Melbourne Joinery And Carpentry Work Together
Whilst both Melbourne joinery and carpentry are concerned with working around timber and wood, there is actually a difference between the two careers that it is important to not get confused:
- Melbourne Carpentry is primarily concerned with rough timber work, usually in bulk, without putting much detail into it. Think jobs including formwork construction, roof framing, timber scaffolding and so on.
- Melbourne Joinery, on the other hand, is primarily concerned with workshop-type timber work, and focusing on putting a lot of detail into the work. Think jobs including cabinetry, staircases, furniture and so on.
So, how can Melbourne carpentry and joinery work together? Believe it or not, they already do in many cases. Think about the construction of a house, for example:
- Melbourne Carpenters will begin by putting up the framework of the home and working on the overall construction of the structure as a whole, by putting in walls, decking and so on.
- Melbourne Joiners then come in and add all of the finishing touches to the home, such as the built in cabinets, the door and window frames, the staircase (if the home is two-storey) and so on.
Because of this, it is very easy to see why the two careers are often confused for being one and the same. In fact, many carpenters have also done a little training in how to do joinery and vice versa. Either way, many of the constructions that we take for granted today (such as your office and your home) were created through the combined efforts of Melbourne joinery and carpentry firms.
