It can also be custom-made to fit into corners and angles or adapted to existing sloping ceilings. Popular is the 3D-measurement, which is best suited for such purposes, moreover, it is also useful for very large libraries. Compared to modular systems, the built-in shelving can be planned more flexibly, both in terms of material, color and shape and equipment.

Materials and colors for the dream shelf at home

Each material impresses with its individual properties and additionally underlines the chic design of a built-in shelf. The built-in shelf can be planned from wood, metal or glass. Warm materials and special types of wood, such as oak, beech, spruce, cherry, pine or alder are popular. Solid wood is a good choice for heavy-duty shelving, which has a higher load-bearing capacity.
Many types of wood support the indoor climate and promote well-being and comfort. Modern variants are built-in shelves made of different materials, so in the combination of wood, metal and glass. It makes sense not only in terms of elegant design, but also in models that have open and closed areas, so compartments, drawers and doors.
