What to consider before ordering?

The reality is that the world of technical furniture is really complex. There are many styles, many environments, many brands, several design options, an infinite range of accessories, colors and finishes. Anyway,the options are endlessand it is important to ensure that you understand the advantages and disadvantages of each of them. Even if you don't yet know exactly what you want for your pharmacy, you can gather ideas by browsing the internet or leafing through one or two specialty magazines. If you are looking for a new service counter or an unusual shelf, you should make the first approach well in advance, investigating tastes, styles, colors and trends. This way, you will be able to guide the professionals hired for your design in an assertive and safe way.

But before you think about ordering a custom-made piece of technical furniture, you should take certain aspects into consideration. Firstly, you should consider your ability toaccommodate products and optimize workflows. If it is a shelf or linear, it must make it possible to communicate the category and subcategory of the product and its respective price, clearly and precisely. On the other hand, in the case of service counters, their design must attract and involve pharmacy users, being duly highlighted by the artificial light sources installed around them.

Order technical furniture during the planning phase?

Of course. In fact, this is the ideal time to contact a specialized company, provide measures and define guidelines. As a general rule, the most common mistake is to finish the construction or remodeling work and only then order the pharmacy furniture. The ideal is to ensure that the remodeling project and the interior design project always go hand in hand. Because the pharmacy's technical furniture can influence all options related to the space's interior finishes, such as flooring, handles, wall colors, etc.

In the case of turnkey projects, however, all these details are handled at the time of design, in close collaboration with the owner. However, if you are simply looking to renew the appearance of your pharmacy with a new piece of technical furniture, the sooner you seek specialized services, the better! For all details to meet your expectations, it is essential to have time to explore all alternatives. Here, to formulate the solution that best suits the pharmacy space, taking into account all work processes and thevisual identityIn addition, it is necessary to understand the owner’s objectives and expectations.

What is the delivery time?

Once the design is defined, it’s time to think about execution and delivery times. Of course, these times are not standard, that is, they depend, to a large extent, on the finishes. Laminates or melamine, for example, can be produced in a short space of time, an average of 45 days, while other finishes such as single-component finishes for glossy effects require more time. Regarding the issue of assembling the technical furniture of a pharmacy, there are also variations. Depending on the part in question, assembly takes one to two days.
