For one of our latest projects, we were asked to craft new garage doors and frames for a beautiful listed property in Clifton. These doors were crafted to match the existing joinery and featured a bi\u00a0folding design.<\/p>\n

Traditional garage door<\/h2>\n

Arkadiusz used Accoya (an environmentally friendly wood that has been specifically developed for exterior use, being virtually rot resistant and resistant to warping)\u00a0to craft the doors which featured a traditional\u00a0framed\u00a0ledged and braced design.<\/p>\n\"ledged-braced-garage-doors\"\n

This type of door construction is suited to large heavy doors\u00a0like\u00a0garage and barn doors, as they are incredible sturdy. Their design is based\u00a0on three horizontal rails (ledges) on the rear of the door complete with diagonal braces, and then\u00a0a series of\u00a0vertical boards to make the front face of the door.<\/p>\n

Like all of our projects, these doors were custom made\u00a0to exacting measurements. We then primed and finished the doors in house.<\/p>\n\"ledged-braced-garage-doors-2\"\n

Once the doors were crafted, Rob and\u00a0Lukasz from the\u00a0paint team primed the doors and then Adam spray painted them in ‘off black’.<\/p>\n
