The pieces that set how a space feels: lighting, doors, handles and tiling. They are usually the last things ordered on a project and the first to run late, and they are also the items that fail over small technical details — a different voltage, a door hung the wrong way, or a second tile batch one shade lighter than the first.
The list below shows what we handle regularly; it is not exhaustive. If the item you are after is not listed, send it to us and we will go and find its factory on the ground.
Chandeliers, pendants, linear fittings and spots. We fix the voltage, the lamp base and the colour temperature before pricing, and ask for a sample to be powered up before the quantity is approved. A fitting with the wrong voltage or base is not a defect to be repaired — it is a shipment that cannot be used.
Internal doors, security doors and glazed doors. A door is built to the opening rather than to a stock size, so we need the clear opening, the wall thickness and the swing direction before manufacture — and the swing in particular cannot be reversed afterwards on most types.
Handles, hinges, locks and drawer runners. Small in price and large in how a space feels day to day, and ordered in volume — so a fraction of a lira becomes a real difference, and finish consistency between batches becomes worth fixing in writing.
Porcelain and ceramic in a range of formats for walls and floors. We order the full quantity from a single production batch, because a batch difference reads as a clear colour line across a floor, and we ask for the slip resistance rating to be stated in the offer for wet areas and public spaces.
The clearer the request, the sharper the shortlist and the closer the offer to what you actually want.
An on-site inspection of the actual goods, and a photographic report in your hands before the container leaves the factory.
These are the source of most problems in this category. We fix them in the purchase order before production starts, so they become a reference in any dispute rather than a matter of what was said on the phone.
| Point | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Voltage and lamp base | A fitting on the wrong voltage is an unusable shipment, not a repairable defect |
| Door swing direction | Cannot be reversed after manufacture on most types |
| Wall thickness and clear opening | The frame is built to both; get them wrong and the door will not fit |
| Single production batch for tiling | A batch difference reads as a clear colour line across the floor |
| Slip resistance rating | Required for wet areas and public spaces |
| Complete fixing accessories | Missing screws and brackets stall installation even though the goods arrived |
Give us the item, the quantity and a rough specification, and we come back with an offer from three shortlisted factories.
