External Timber Oak Door
Grays Inn needed to replace very old, decayed doors that had suffered from a lack of maintenance, rot, and damage accumulated over time. As the building was listed and protected, it was essential to replace the doors with exact replicas to comply with heritage preservation standards.
To meet these specific requirements, we provided the following solution:
Custom Designed Replacement Doors
- We crafted bespoke replacement doors that perfectly replicated the original design, ensuring the historic appearance was preserved. This was essential for maintaining the building’s architectural integrity.
Selection of High-Quality American Oak
- The new doors were constructed from American Oak, chosen for its durability and close match to the original material. This selection not only adhered to heritage guidelines but also provided long-term resilience against future decay.
Attention to Architectural Details
- Every element of the original doors, including their intricate detailing and distinctive features, was faithfully reproduced. This ensured the new doors seamlessly integrated with the building’s historical facade.
The restoration project successfully rejuvenated the entrance of the listed building, preserving its historic character while providing modern durability. The carefully crafted American Oak doors upheld the building’s aesthetic and structural authenticity, ensuring compliance with conservation requirements and enhancing the building’s longevity.
