Every facility has its own requirements. Share your floor plan or room layout in any format, along with your concept, and our in-house designer will create complimentary 3D plans, recommending the best-suited products from our range or designing custom pieces for your space.
Get in touch with our team and we will assess what is needed. Because we manufacture in-house, we can often repair or replace pieces more quickly and cost-effectively than would be possible through a third-party supplier.
For damage covered under structural warranty, refer to your warranty documentation or contact us directly.
All Abecca furniture is designed for easy cleaning with hospital-grade disinfectants, and its sealed surfaces help resist liquids and bacteria collecting in joins or gaps.
A full list of approved cleaning products for each range is available in our [Cleaning Guide], downloadable from the Resources page.
Yes, we ship internationally. We deliver to facilities throughout New Zealand and Australia, and supply projects further afield for clients around the world.

Lead times vary depending on the size and complexity of your order, and can shift at different times of year. Because we manufacture in-house, we have genuine flexibility and can often work to tighter timelines than you might expect.
Contact our team with your project details and we will give you an accurate delivery estimate for your specific requirements.
Our products are specified in facilities across New Zealand and Australia, including Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora, Australian state health authority, and corrections-procured environments. We have supplied furniture through competitive tender processes to mental health, corrections, and youth justice facilities, and are experienced in meeting the documentation and compliance requirements these processes demand.
If you are preparing a tender and need specific documentation, get in touch and we will put together what you need.

A full Cleaning Guide, including named approved products, incident response protocols, and recommended cleaning frequencies, is available to download from our Resources page.
Yes, and these properties are inherent to the construction rather than added as features.
All Abecca furniture contains no internal frame, no fixings. In addition our Armadillo® range has no removable components, and no voids or cavities. Its solid foam core significantly reduces opportunities for items to be hidden or concealed.
The surface finishes reinforce this further:
In practice, this helps resist the concealment of contraband and attempts to create openings or attachment points.
Several things, working together. All our furniture is solid foam, with no internal frames, fixings, legs, or hard components: the parts that make conventional furniture a risk in secure settings. With nothing to remove and no hard parts, it significantly reduces opportunities for misuse or weaponisation.
Beyond that, every Armadillo® piece is:
Comfort has not been traded for safety. Our furniture is designed for extended use in therapeutic settings and engineered for the highest-risk environments.
Yes. CAD and Revit files are available for our product ranges. Contact our team with the models you need and we will provide the appropriate files for your project documentation or design workflow.
Yes. Custom and built-in solutions are available across our ranges. Because we manufacture entirely in-house, we have genuine flexibility to design pieces that work within unusual spaces, meet specific clinical or security requirements, or integrate with existing room features.
You can find more detail on our Customisable Solutions page, or get in touch directly to talk through what you have in mind.
We offer a broad range of colours across all three ranges, and in many cases there will be an option that suits your facility’s palette without the need for custom work.
Because we manufacture in-house, we have genuine flexibility: most customisation is achievable without the extended lead times or cost premiums you would encounter with an intermediary supplier. Tell us about your space and we will tell you what is possible.
If you have a specific brief or would like to see colour samples, get in touch or book a virtual showroom session and we can work through the options with you.

We have swapped our old mattresses over and the new ones have been greatly welcomed by our consumers.
