Understanding key concepts behind any design rationale involves understanding the client’s requirements, whilst taking into account the physical constraints and statutory controls that make every bespoke joinery commission unique.
Design and Craftsmanship
Paddy has a wealth of experience in architectural joinery design and manufacturing. This, coupled with careful detailing and passion for the best outcome for each individual project is at the core of the company’s ethos. Understanding, for example, how window design has evolved, along with section profiles from the 1670’s to 1900’s, coupled with local research, should enable sympathetic restoration or replacement of windows and doors etc.
Detailed working drawings form part of our service, if required. Much of our heritage work involves replicating historic moulds and section detailing. The opportunity for window replacements to be reinstated with historical detailing, including the sensitive incorporation of thin, highly thermal efficient krypton double glazed units, can be a viable option if appropriate in the setting. Glazing options may include handmade outer panes with a struck putty finish.
