DESIGN YOUR OWN SHELF

 

Would you like an alternative to cookie-cutter shelving? If so, we may have the solid wood shelving choices you’ve been looking for. Our focus is on providing designers and homeowners with a variety of hardwood shelving options not typically found with other shelving makers.

At ZimBoards, we consider our wood shelving to be much more than just a storage solution but rather, we offer décor accents that are interesting, exciting and get noticed. Compare our selection of custom wood shelves to any maker and you’ll discover the difference. English Walnut, Sycamore, Burly Maple, Sugar Maple and Black Walnut among others, give you the opportunity to create a shelf that’s as unique as you are. 

Choose between rustic live-edge shelves or a more modern contemporary flat-edge design that matches your room’s décor style. Whichever you choose you can feel confident that it will be unique and of the highest quality. Furthermore, we give you the opportunity to select character and color variations of these hardwoods that give you even more options.

Most other wood shelving makers purchase their wood from commercial sources, we mill and dry our own. Processing our own wood gives us a big advantage over other makers. Instead of being limited to only “clear” (straight grain / without imperfections) wood, we are selecting our own logs with the greatest potential for having those beautiful natural imperfections. We know that wood’s true beauty comes from its natural imperfections. Folks who are looking for wood character appreciate the wavy grain, occasional knot and streaks.

Shelf Size & Shapes
Most of our Custom Wood Shelves are made to order because often, the customer requires a specific size to fit their specific design / project. Some customers are looking for a free-form style shelf and we have a large inventory of wood slabs to accommodate them.

What about the Finish?
Many shelving makers promote their hand rubbed oil finishes that include Danish Oil, Tung Oil, Rubio Monocoat and other like finishes as being durable. While there’s nothing wrong with these oil / wax finishes, few are permanent and none of them protect the wood like our Catalyzed Conversion Varnish (CCV). The same finish that’s likely on your fine wood furniture.

CCV seals the wood protecting it from scratches, water marks and is permanent. CCV leaves a lustrous satin textured finish, and it doesn’t yellow or crack. CCV offers 3 sheen finishes, gloss, satin and matt. We also offer transparent stains that modify wood color but do not cover up the grain.

Under-shelf Lighting
We offer under-shelf lighting – choose between LED Puck or Strip Lighting. Lighting may require a licensed Electrical Contractor for proper installation.
