Shop fitting design will often incorporate a retailer’s individual branding.

Some shops in large chains will be similar, if not identical in design. Smaller shops may be individually designed.

Whether a shop is large or small, shop fitting is a specialist trade.

Shop fitting cabinets are made from sheet materials that are cut to size. In the above photograph, a carpenter is marking out the position of door hinges.

Pre-fabricated shop fitting cabinets are fitted together on site. Measurement has to be very accurate for everything to fit together.

To ensue there are no gaps between cabinets, a “kreg” joint is used, as shown in the red circle.

A close up is shown on the next slide.

To make a kreg joint, screws holding timber together are driven in at an angle of 45°, so that the head of the screw is concealed.Once delivered to site, cabinets are butted up to each other so that gaps between them are invisible.

Each stage of work is carefully planned, from beginning to end. Once one tradesman has completed his work, then another tradesman can follow on. Maintaining continuity of trades is crucial to an effective fit-out.

Shop fitting can often take place as shops stay open. Continuation of trading is critical to a shop’s business plan: in these circumstances, shop fitting may take place in extremely cramped conditions, as shown in the following slides.
