Cardnial Church Process Information

Our Family has Manufactured Solid Lumber and Upholstered Church Pews in AZUSA California since 1946.
Our Founder JOHN A LAMBRECHT SR was a “sole surviving son” in W.W.II.

He was passionate about his chosen craft of adorning Churches. He passed his passion along to us. He believed and taught us that;

“QUALITY” is our MOTTO, and our PLEDGE to use the finest craftsmanship and materials to manufacture your furniture.

Our GLUE is Aliphatic Resin (not urea formaldehyde).

This is 12 times the glue manufacturers recommended cure time.
We do not use microwave or electric apparatus to cook our joints.
We take THE TIME IT TAKES to CURE the JOINTS.
We have a - Complete and separate Sanding Department; Complete and Separate Upholstery Department;
Complete and Separate Stain, Sealer and Lacquer Department. Each operation has it’s own separate spray booth.
Separation of these activities is important to the final outcome of your furniture.
Milling dust & chips, sanding dust, upholstery, stain, seal & lacquer operations are separated from one another to avoid cross contamination.
Our Polyurethane Foams are High Density - Ergonomically Tested.
They are chemically designed to remember their shape.
Because of body weight distribution, back poly is softer than seat poly.
Some of our seat poly is dual density.
With a softer cushion on top and a denser pan underneath, preventing bottom out.
