COVID-19 UPDATE: We would like to inform all our customers that we are operational and continue to fulfil orders.

Production

The headquarters for the Chilfen Joinery division are based in Letchworth Garden City, Hertfordshire. We operate a 33,000 sq. ft. production facility that is fully equipped with the latest technologies. In line with our ongoing efforts to provide advanced products and services, we continually invest in the latest equipment and research new technologies to enhance and improve our production processes.

Key investments in new equipment are important for us to ensure we continue to provide the best possible products. Investments in our ERP management systems and processes are also vital to ensure effective management, cost control, efficiency and design development.

ECOGATE Management System
Our ECOGATE management system offers ‘extraction on demand’. It is a controlled ventilation system that is installed on all dust-creating machinery and operates only when that particular machine is in operation – reducing energy usage and keeping our carbon footprint to a minimum.

Computer Aided

Computer Aided Beam Saw
We use a Homag beam saw coupled with a BARGSTEDT storage system. The system allows for the smooth handling of materials and provides precision cutting at high speed regardless of batch size. With an integrated stock control system, it provides all-round increased efficiency. Watch our beam saw in action.

Edge Banding Machine
Our Homag Numerical Control edge banding machine using polyurethane (PU) glue technology allows us to apply various edgings to any material with a high quality of finish. View a short video of our edge banding machine in action.

Latest CNC technology
We have the latest technology for precision shaping, drilling, jointing and producing profiles/angles through our 3-axis CNC, a 5-axis CNC and a compact vertical CNC. Click here to view our short video showing our CNC machines in action.

Spray Booth & Drying Room
Our spray booth uses low-pressure spraying equipment with manual spraying and hand finishing in AC, PU and water-based lacquers. The drying room provides a dust-free environment for efficient drying and curing. Watch the spray booth in action.

Automated Spray Machine
Our automated spray machine allows for flat panel finishing and high-volume panel processing. It is extremely fast and efficient and can provide AC, PU and water-based lacquer finishes. View our short video showing our automated spray machine in action

Laminating
We can create laminate boards. Our combination of glue spreader machines and hydraulic press allows us to carry out the laminating of either single-element or full-size sheets.

In-House Decorative Veneering
We achieve high levels of quality through our in-house machinery and experienced veneer application team. They undertake bespoke veneering using many wood species. Watch our short video showing veneers being prepared and applied.

4 Axis Hot Wire Cutter
Our hot wire cutter enables rapid production of moulds from extruded polystyrene. These are used in the large format vacuum press to form curved laminations. Learn more about curved laminations.

Large Format Vacuum Press
This will securely bond a large laminate panel against a polystyrene mould to form a rigid curved panel. Learn more about curved laminations.
