Nothing is square
In older construction, walls out of plumb and floors out of level are the rule. Good joinery in that context is built with a scribe strip and measured on site, never from a plan.
Bespoke joinery in the Centre
An older building, a measurement that is never the same on both sides of the opening, and an access that decides the design before the drawing starts.
Access decides how many parts the piece is born in
A small lift, a spiral stair, a short corridor: the four-metre bookcase becomes three modules before it is cut. Anyone who discovers that on delivery day loses the piece.
Commercial joinery is a different calculation
A shop counter, an office reception and a display unit take a beating all day, every day. Structure, hardware and finish are specified as commercial furniture.
This page does not claim that Wood Art serves this neighbourhood. The list of areas came from the brief, not from the workshop, and none of them has been confirmed. [CONFIRM real coverage]
Why one page per neighbourhood. It is the highest-return local-SEO block for this trade and no competitor in this market has one. Each page needs its own text — built from what actually changes technically in that place — not a template with the name swapped.
Timber on the coast
What salt air does to your piece — and what changes in the specification
A house 200 metres from the sea in Florianópolis is not the same joinery job as a flat in the centre. None of this is opinion: it is specification.
Why this section exists. Every joinery workshop on this island sells “fitted furniture”. Not one answers the single variable that decides whether the piece reaches five years. Answering it is owning the specification conversation.

Humidity that rises and falls every day
Near the sea, relative humidity swings far more than it does inland. Solid timber expands and contracts with it, and the design has to allow that movement: a groove instead of rigid glue, calculated clearances on doors and drawers, and the dimensional reference chosen for the worst case, not the average.
The edge is where the piece dies first
In panel work, water almost never gets in through the face. It gets in through the edge: the top of a door, a sink cut-out, a foot standing on a wet floor. Sealing the edge and applying the banding properly matter more than any colour choice.
Hardware is the component that corrodes
Hinges, runners and handles are metal in salt air. The corrosion class of the hardware is a line in the estimate, not a detail. [CONFIRM which hardware is specified near the sea]
Ventilation behind the unit
A unit pressed against a wall that breathes collects moisture at the back. A standoff and an air path change the working life of the piece more than any varnish does.
Direct sun ages the colour
The face turned to the sun shifts tone before the others. That is not a defect, it is how timber behaves — but it has to be said at the moment of choosing, not two years later.
Repair rather than replacement
A penetrating finish repairs locally; a film repairs as a whole. Anyone living near the sea should be choosing with the repair in mind, not only with how the piece leaves the workshop.
Any specific product recommendation — varnish, sealer, hardware class — comes after the studio confirms what it actually uses. [CONFIRM the coastal specification the workshop really follows]
