Commercial Cabinetry designed, built and installed for Montreal — triplex staircases, out-of-square rooms, and the widest humidity swing of any of our markets. Our Montreal showroom is on Jean-Talon Ouest.
Commercial joinery in Quebec has to handle a winter entrance — salt, slush and wet coming through the door all day for months — which is hardest on anything at low level near an entry. Plinths, toe kicks and the first metre of any run get specified accordingly. Beyond that it is the usual commercial discipline: built for wear, cleaned nightly, and installed inside whatever window the site actually has.
The Montreal triplex is a specific delivery problem: an exterior staircase, a tight interior turn at the top, and often no lift. Cabinetry for those units is sized to be carried up that stair, and where a piece cannot be, it is built to assemble in the room.
Winters here are long and heated interiors get genuinely dry, then summers are humid. That annual swing is wider than most markets and it is the reason solid timber has to be detailed to move rather than fixed rigid.
Older buildings have out-of-square rooms, sloped floors and services in awkward places. Everything is templated on site.
The specification below is the same whether the job is in Montreal or anywhere else we work — it is how we build, not what we build for the market.
Commercial joinery gets touched by hundreds of people a week and cleaned every night, so it is specified for wear first. We build reception desks, retail fixtures, office and hospitality joinery to commercial-grade finishes with edges detailed to survive trolleys, bags and chairs — and we work to a programme, because a fit-out has a trading date.
Finishes, edges and hardware chosen for daily abuse and nightly cleaning rather than for a domestic duty cycle.
Shop-fabricated, delivered flat where it helps, and installed in the window the site actually has — including overnight.
For a rollout, the joinery is drawn as a kit of parts so the second store costs less than the first and looks like its sibling.

We work throughout Montreal, including Outremont, Le Plateau, Griffintown, Notre-Dame-de-Grace and Ahuntsic. The housing here is triplexes and duplexes with exterior staircases, Plateau flats, converted industrial buildings in Griffintown, and detached houses in the western neighbourhoods, and the cabinetry is specified for it rather than to a national standard.
Our Montreal showroom is at 4865 Jean-Talon O.. The samples are worth handling before you choose — or send the drawings and we will price it first.
Every project is photographed room by room with the materials and the detailing listed, so you can see how a job like this is actually put together before you commit to one.

You can also search every finish we specify and every appliance we design around.
One shop draws, finishes and installs all of it, which is why the closet matches the kitchen and there is one number to call when something needs adjusting.
