Built for Panama's climate

In Panama’s humidity, built-ins need to breathe. We specify moisture-resistant materials and ventilated designs so books, electronics and belongings stay protected from damp, in the finish, fronts and hardware you choose.

We measure on site and design around beams, columns and sloped ceilings, the awkward spots standard units can’t use.

Frequently asked questions

What clients ask most about closets, built-ins and shelving.

How much does built-in storage or shelving cost?

The median across our storage pieces is $4,680, with most between $3,900 and $5,460, depending on size and level of detail.

Do you build custom closets?

Yes. We design and build closets, walk-in dressing rooms, libraries, media units and built-in shelving, fitted precisely to the available space.

Can you work with walls that are not square?

That is exactly the advantage of built-to-measure. We measure on site and fabricate around out-of-square walls, columns and mouldings so the piece sits with no gaps or filler strips.

Which materials do you use for built-ins in a humid climate?

Properly kiln-dried solid woods and high-density panels with sealed finishes. Panama’s humidity punishes cheap board, and that is exactly where inexpensive built-ins fail.

Is installation included?

Yes. Built-ins require professional installation and it is included in Panama City and up to 40 km.

How long does it take?

Ten to sixteen weeks from design approval, including the on-site measurement visit and final installation.
