Unit 10 at Drynoch Place houses our timber drying kiln. The kiln was built using 90% recycled materials. The
timber arrives mainly from the operations at Dawsholm Park and the surrounding area. Smaller timber can be milled by chainsaw on-site while the larger timber is transported to Drynoch Place where our Lucas Mill is also based. The milled timber is stacked, air dried, and when the moisture content reaches the particular requirements dependent on the species, it is then placed in the kiln to complete the process. Timber can be selected, milled to the desired specifications, and designed to enhance any space. We design interiors for shops, pubs, restaurants and specialist commissions.
Unit 9 at Drynoch Place receives the seasoned timber and the furniture department creates bespoke furniture or
provides material for contract work. In addition to creating beautiful hand crafted furniture, Unit 9 also functions
as a training centre where traditional joinery skills are taught alongside fundamental design skills; often it will be the
individual shape and grain of the material which determines the design and thereafter the finished product.
The furniture created at Balmore is then displayed for sale at the Coach House Trust Shop on Gt Western Road.
In 2006 Unit 10 had a 60 kw Veto stoker biomass boiler installed, which provides heat for our three workshops at Balmore Industrial Estate. In addition to providing heat for our workshops we are converting our timber drying kiln to be run from the boiler. The boiler replaces three very inefficient gas heaters (one in each workshop). The trust supplies its own fuel (in the form of woodchip) from residues of timber milling and from a short rotation coppice site that it manages. It also supplies woodchip to other biomass installations in and around the Glasgow area.
