Doors

Exterior door, Walsham-le-Willows

Doors can be a feature as well as a way of getting in and out of a building. They are also a potential site for loss of energy, making the heating in a building less efficient. External doors must be draught-proof and well insulated to retain energy. Draught-proof interior doors allow for rooms to be kept at different temperatures. Interior doors may also be sound-proofed - in a music room, for instance.

Original door

 

Original doors will be retained when possible, or materials from a door may be reclaimed and re-used. New doors will be designed to be in keeping with the rest of the building. Access for disabled people may have to be considered in some cases.

Restored door, Warmington Barns

 

We will not fit uPVC doors, but will use timber doors made from wood from sustainable sources.
