Libraries · Severn, Ontario
Custom Home Libraries in Severn,with no sag in them.
Books are heavier than most shelving admits. Spans are kept short, shelves are thickened and edged, and long walls get a ladder rail so the top shelf stays usable. Severn houses run from century farmhouses to new builds on the water. Both need scribing.
Shelves that carry the load
Adjustable shelving sized to the span so a full row of hardcovers never bows the middle.
Ladder rails and lighting
Brass rails on long runs and integrated picture lights wired into the carcass.
Rooms, not bookcases
Base, crown, jambs and reveals detailed so the shelving reads as part of the architecture.
A library or reading room is a common request for Severn's older farmhouses and for cottages that are used year-round. Built-in shelving in the same species as the trim ties a new piece into an old house.
Libraries built in our Orillia shop and installed across Orillia, Barrie, Severn, Gravenhurst.

Consultations happen on site, with a tape measure. Bring the room, not a mood board.
