This week, we're excited to begin a specialised project focused on the repair and restoration of this beautiful wooden door for a historic property in Canterbury. This project involves meticulous attention to detail as we bring new life to the door while preserving its original character. The door has seen years of wear, and our goal is to restore its natural charm, ensuring both aesthetic beauty and structural integrity.
Our team will also restore the door's original hardware, cleaning and polishing the handles, hinges, and lock mechanisms, or replacing them with period-appropriate pieces if needed. We take great pride in ensuring that the restored door not only complements the historic architecture of the property but also functions smoothly and securely, blending classic beauty with modern durability and performance.
To end this week, we're delighted to be working on a specialized project producing complete replacement double glazed sash windows with curved heads for a distinguished property in Herne bay. This project is particularly exciting as it involves the meticulous recreation of these unique, characterful windows, blending classic aesthetics with modern performance enhancements.
The curved head sash windows had been custom made in our workshop using traditional joinery techniques, a process that requires both skill and precision to ensure each window is a perfect fit. Our team is carefully crafting every detail of these windows, from the elegantly curved upper sashes to the slender glazing bars, ensuring the new windows match the original design while offering the benefits of advanced double glazing for improved energy efficiency and sound insulation.
Each window is constructed using the highest quality hardwood, chosen by the customer due to its durability and superior finish. The curved heads have been shaped to maintain the fluid lines of the original architecture of the property, adding a touch of timeless elegance to the home. The double glazed units have been discreetly incorporated into the sashes, providing enhanced thermal performance without compromising on the traditional look and feeling of the home.
We take great pride in creating these bespoke curved head sash windows, ensuring they not only preserve the unique character of the building but also meet modern standards for comfort and performance.
This week, we're thrilled to be crafting a significant number of bespoke sash windows in our workshop for a large scale commercial project in London. This project is a wonderful opportunity for our team to showcase our expertise and dedication to traditional craftsmanship. The sash windows are being carefully handcrafted using time honoured techniques and the finest quality timber, ensuring each piece is both a functional window and a work of art that respects the architectural integrity of the property.
The project involves producing numerous sash windows that meet the UK's stringent conservation requirements, preserving the character and charm of the historic building while incorporating modern performance benefits such as improved thermal insulation and smooth operation. Every window is designed and manufactured to exact specifications, meticulously replicating original details to ensure they blend seamlessly with the existing façade.
We’re using traditional joinery techniques and high-quality materials to create conservation approved windows that provide superior longevity and aesthetic appeal. Each frame is crafted with precision to enhance the building’s original character and elevate its visual appeal.
Working on such a prestigious commercial project in London is both an honour and a challenge, as it allows us to contribute to the preservation of the city’s rich architectural heritage. We’re committed to delivering sash windows that not only look stunning but also perform exceptionally well for many years to come.
This week, we're excited to be working on a dormer sash window repair project at Lavender Gardens in London, a charming street that beautifully showcases the capital’s architectural heritage and charm. Our team is focusing on restoring several dormer sash windows and preserving the character of the property with sensitive repairs that blend seamlessly with the existing structure and aesthetic of the street. The project involves carefully repairing conservation joints to ensure the integrity and durability of the window frames, using traditional methods and materials that respect the original craftsmanship. Each window is being meticulously repaired and adjusted for smooth operation, improved insulation, and enhanced longevity.
We take great care to maintain the original aesthetics of these dormer windows, preserving their unique details while subtly incorporating modern techniques to boost functionality. Every aspect of this project is carried out with precision, ensuring that the restored dormer windows not only look stunning but also perform exceptionally for many years to come.
Working around the Lavender Gardens area is always a pleasure and it gives us the opportunity to contribute to the preservation of one of London’s beautiful historic neighbourhoods. We are proud to play a part in maintaining the charm and character of this area by restoring these traditional dormer sash windows to their former glory.
