Bespoke joinery in Lagoa da Conceição

High humidity all year, houses on the hillside and a large stock of holiday property. Each of the three changes a different technical decision.

Constant humidity, not only salt

Beside the lagoon the humidity stays high and steady, which is a different problem from salt: less rapid corrosion, more edge swelling and more mould behind a unit pressed to the wall. Ventilation at the back stops being a detail.

Hillside access is a line in the estimate

A narrow street, an external stair and a tight right-of-way decide how many parts the piece has to be built in. That is resolved in the drawing, not on delivery day.

The season sets the calendar

Rental property refits out of season. The window is short and agreed in advance. [CONFIRM schedule availability]

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]
