The new shop is getting some new color.

As we prepare to finish the showroom, we have been painting the surrounding rooms. It's the next step in the facelift the whole building is getting!

Here is the women's room, in BM AF-300 Dinner Party.

Our new office space is BM 684 Shenendoah.

The entries have a terra cotta type color that didn't photograph perfectly, but it's BM AF-225 Firenze.

And the men's room has BM 840 Kensington Blue.

We love the fresh new look in all of these rooms. Stay tuned for more improvements we are making to our showroom area!

Ancom Is Green!

There are many species of wood which are environmentally friendly. Here at Ancom we encourage clients to explore the options.

Lyptus, a tropical hardwood, is ideal for cabinetry, millwork, furniture, and flooring. It is milled from eucalyptus trees. Eucalyptus grows very quickly, replenishing itself in as short a time as 14 years. The trees are manually pruned, which results in less knots in the wood. This allows for maximum usable lumber being produced from the logs. All of this results in a very green product. Click here for more environmental information about lyptus wood.

Lyptus has a beautiful grain pattern. It gives a very rich look and color. It can be finished naturally for a beautiful reddish color, or stained to deepen the finish to your liking. Here are some pictures of lyptus doors being prepared for stain:

And the stained and finished product:

Look for a picture of the cabinets fully assembled and installed in the near future!

Another species that is well known as being environmentally friendly and is becoming very popular for its look is bamboo. Bamboo grows faster than lyptus even, growing in only 7 years! It is therefore a very green product because the supply is regenerated so quickly. In addition to growing so rapidly, bamboo is good for the o-zone. It releases more oxygen than the average tree. Click here to read an article highlighting some of bamboo's green benefits.

Here is a picture of some naturally finished bamboo doors we are working on.

Look for pictures of these cabinets soon as well!

New Duct Work Is In!

The new duct work was installed this week, so the dust collectors are up and running!

The bottom picture shows the new walls all plastered and painted. The spray booth will go in the back left corner.

First cut in the new shop!

Here is a video of the first cabinet parts cut in the new shop!

Our new Kaeser air system.

This is a peek at our new smart pipe compressed air lines from Kaeser. They were just installed last week, and we love them!

Inside: New walls are up!

There is now wallboard up where before there were just studs before. Things are being put into their new place in the shop!

Inside: We Are Making Progress!

We have most of our things moved over from the old place. Now we just need to organize it all!

Here is the large part of the shop.

Looking from the other end, with our mascots sniffing around!

The smaller part of the shop, where the spray booth and finishing area will be.

This will become the showroom, but for now it is Andy's makeshift office.

This will also become part of the showroom, but for now it is Jess's office.

22 Bryan Way, Ayer MA

Here is a picture of the new place. We are still moving our things over from the old place and getting everything set in place.

We will share pictures of the inside once everything is set up!
