Plate Racks/ Drying Racks/Display Racks/Storage Racks- the most hygienic and perfect way to store  your everyday crockery or your prized pieces! Welcome to Page 3 of 4 concentrating on finishes and extra bits!!!

Found in almost every Country Kitchen over the years and now just as essential in a Modern kitchen, these racks have proved to be an invaluable and useful aid not only in drying crockery in a natural way - but also in displaying large numbers of plates, side plates, bowls, mugs, teacups and saucers in an attractive, stylish piece of essential kitchen furniture!

Plate Racks/Draining Racks situated near a sink are usually made from either Pine or Beech with an oiled finish - but they can also be decorated or stained using  suitable products, including lacquer or varnish - but by far the best is an OILED finish..

Plate Racks/Display Racks  used primarily just to display beautiful and prized pieces of crockery can be economically made out of MDF, and painted and finished to clients specifications and requirements.  Using MDF affords an inexpensive but classy solution to the problem of decorative but practical storage, but they are not suitable for use as a draining rack.

We can make you a Plate Rack entirely to suit you and your families needs - in fact we don't have a standard size, having made them in a variety of styles and dimensions to fit in either a long narrow rectangular space, or large enough to safely house a cherished dinner service!

Please note in order to keep our prices as keen as they are for a handmade handcrafted product made especially for you, we do not currently have any brochures/catalogues.  However, if you require further details regarding any design/style, please email or phone/fax when we'll be only too happy to help.

There are a range of added 'extra bits' that you can add to your Plate rack to make it even more practical than it already is! There are 2 pictured at the bottom of this list - but the range is extensive and is being added to all the time.  There may  be something in particular that you would like to add to your Plate Rack making it unique to you - if there is don't be afraid to ask!

Plate Racks/Drying racks are usually made from either Pine or Beech but virtually any other wood suitable for the purpose can be used. The  best finish has to be an oiled one  - this application not only feeds and sustains the life of this very beautiful natural material but also provides the wood with some waterproof protection.  If a colour/stain/paint finish is required this can also be applied for a surcharge. Prices have been given in the majority of cases for Pine only - it generally being the preferred choice. A Shellacked and wax polish finish feeds the wood and  ensures that your Plate Rack  mellows and gains a beautiful patina over the years to come, but is better suited to a display rack only. Plate Racks can be sent anywhere in the world fully assembled or in a  flat packed  form for export
