Case Study - Locks Restaurant - Furniture Refurbishment
Customer: Locks Restaurant
Fitter: Universal Graphics
Locks is a neighbourhood restaurant with one of Dublin's most unique dining rooms situated on the Grand Canal banks. It was awarded Best Private Dining and Club Restaurant at the 2018 Restaurant awards. They serve modern seasonal food, using quality sourced ingredients and creativity in every dish, focusing on flavour, all in a relaxing, informal environment nestled in Portobello.
The restaurant is run by a passionate chef team of Connor O'Dowd and Paul McNamara.
The Challenge
Locks Restaurant was refurbishing its premises and wanted its existing furniture to match its modern and aesthetically pleasing visuals.
The requirements included:
- No construction noises
- Minimum disruption
- Rejuvenate furniture without the need for replacement
- Easy and quickly maintenance
The Solution
Our LX Hausys Marbling BM002 was used on all furniture to create an entirely new marble look without needing a stone replacement or new furniture to be purchased. This film was chosen due to its great looks and texture, durability, 3D conformability, waterproofness, and easiness of cleaning and maintenance.
Using our cutting-edge interior film solutions can help refurbish restaurant furniture without the need for replacement and hiring skips. In addition to this, when using our interior films, any damaged parts can be replaced without substituting the whole furniture.
There was no need for furniture replacement with our interior films: decreasing actual and future costs and environmental impacts.
The Results
- Completion time: 1 day
- Minimum Environmental Impact
- No need for new furniture to be purchased
- High-quality fitting with outstanding attention to detail
Testimonials
"Interie is the perfect company to work with for renovations as they have multiple options to choose from when resurfacing furniture & their support team are incredibly knowledgeable.
Transforming existing furniture, modernising the space in question with efficiency. The restaurant was completely refurbished but some of the built-in furniture needed a facelift, without closing the premises. The product we chose allowed for clean and fast installation and the finish is unbelievable."
