Românian happy customers

We've had a few orders for curved MDF and we're happy to tell you the system worked like a charm.
It was a matter of selecting the right adhesive and thickness of the sheets. The curved panels are quite strong, I've even placed 300+ pounds of weight on top of 720x550 mm panel without having to deal with any consequences.

Once painted, they looked really nice and the customers are satisfied. I'd like to express my own satisfaction regarding your product and thank you for your support.
This spring we'll place an order for another kit, probably an 800x600 one.
I've attached some pictures of the finished product.
Best wishes,

Korte - Latvians with big curves!



Andris Pukitis of Korte tells us about how he feels that Curvomatic has helped him and the business.

"We are very glad that we found this easy molding system.

1. It helps us save time: previous making some moulds its take a time aprox. 4 hr now 45min We make them lot. IT MEANS SAVE A LOT.

 

2. Easy storage in previous we made a molds and then, after job we throw out. Now any moulds takes only 4 cm in thickness and we can easy storage and make a moulds library. IT MEANS SAVE A LOT


 

3. The mold is made from aluminum, it is a very good heat conductor, it mean that warm detail cooling is faster than in wooden molds. When we made repeating details in previous we calculate 1.5-3 hr for cooling detail and, this time, all time grows, because moulds is warming up now it is all time, same time 45 min. IT MEANS SAVE A LOT 

Thanks for inventing so good system for molds." 

Best regards

Latvian Curved Doors


We've had some great photos from Ainars Kivulis from Kesa Interiors & Joinery in Latvia who has been using Curvomatic to curve doors. The first project to show that even shallow curves can be achieved with great results!


"I'm sending you some pictures after the  
finished work because, just to show you how good is your Curvomatic is. Its really good, 
I cant even imagine how I would make two 
massive veneered oak commodes without it.Its very simple, but unique."


Take a look at the website for more in depth look at their work: www.kesa.lv
