From concept to installation

Foun­ded in 1985 and head­quar­tered in North Wales, Sil­ver­lin­ing works close­ly with pri­vate cli­ents, in­te­ri­or de­sign­ers and ar­chi­tec­tur­al prac­ti­ces a­round the world. From the i­ni­tial de­sign con­cept through to fi­nal in­stal­la­tion, all sta­ges of the pro­cess are car­ried out in-house. This e­na­bles the com­pa­ny to main­tain com­plete con­trol o­ver qua­li­ty and at­ten­tion to de­tail through­out e­ve­ry phase of a pro­ject. Sil­ver­lin­ing in­vests hea­vi­ly in re­search and de­ve­lop­ment to con­ti­nu­ous­ly ad­vance the use of na­tu­ral ma­te­ri­als, new sur­face fi­ni­shes and spe­cia­list tech­ni­ques, com­bi­ning tra­di­tio­nal crafts­man­ship with hands-on in­no­va­tion.

Precision laser cutting for marquetry work

Far more than traditional woodworking

For its marquetry work, the company combines wood veneers of different species, thicknesses and grain patterns with carefully selected materials such as mother of pearl, gold leaf, dyed straw, leather, cork, shagreen and metallised resins. This results in bespoke patterns and complex material compositions that extend far beyond traditional wood marquetry. These creative design possibilities are realised both in exclusive client projects and in the limited edition design pieces produced by Studio SL, our in-house design studio, where pieces sit at the intersection of furniture making and fine art.

Challenge of Silverlining Furniture

Increasing demands for quality and flexibility

Sil­ver­lin­ing’s ex­act­ing qua­li­ty stan­dards are re­flec­ted in e­ve­ry de­tail of its ve­neer work. O­ver time, how­e­ver, it be­came clear that the pre­vi­ous la­ser ma­chine had reached the li­mits of what pro­duc­tion de­man­ded. Burn marks, par­ti­cu­lar­ly on light-col­oured ma­te­ri­als, re­sul­ted in ad­di­tio­nal fi­ni­shing work and af­fec­ted the de­si­red cut­ting qua­li­ty. In ad­di­tion, out­da­ted soft­ware and li­mi­ted pro­cess­ing ca­pa­bi­li­ties made ef­fi­cient work­flows more dif­fi­cult. Af­ter more than 10,000 op­e­rat­ing hours, the per­for­mance of the la­ser source had al­so be­gun to de­cline no­ti­ce­a­bly. A so­lu­tion was there­fore re­qui­red that would safe­guard the com­pa­ny’s high ma­nu­fac­tur­ing stan­dards in the long term while pro­vi­ding grea­ter fle­xi­bi­li­ty for fu­ture pro­jects.

eurolaser solution: XL-3200 for large-format applications

Precise processing, impressive results

With the XL-3200 la­ser cut­ting ma­chine, Sil­ver­lin­ing has been a­ble to fur­ther en­hance its ma­nu­fac­tur­ing pro­ces­ses. Me­cha­ni­cal tool­ing op­tions ex­pand the range of ap­pli­ca­tions, pro­vide grea­ter fle­xi­bi­li­ty when pro­cess­ing dif­fe­rent ma­te­ri­als and o­pen up new op­por­tu­ni­ties for fu­ture de­ve­lop­ments and cre­a­tive de­sign con­cepts. The com­pa­ny par­ti­cu­lar­ly be­ne­fits from im­proved cut­ting qua­li­ty and sig­ni­fi­cant­ly re­du­ced burn marks when work­ing with light-col­oured and sen­si­tive ma­te­ri­als. At the same time, ma­nu­al fi­ni­shing work is mi­ni­mi­sed, re­sult­ing in high­er pro­cess­ing qua­li­ty and more ef­fi­cient pro­duc­tion work­flows.

With the eurolaser solution, we were able to further optimise our production processes. The enhanced processing capabilities provide greater flexibility in material processing, improve the quality of the results and open up new creative possibilities for future projects.
