Mr & Mrs Kenion
Mr and Mrs Kenion contacted Timber Windows Southern as they were looking to replace their existing stained timber entrance door.
After researching their options, the customers chose the ‘Chalfont’ entrance door. The new door is finished in Farrow & Ball ‘Stone Blue’, a warm and timeless shade inspired by the indigo pigment that was often imported in lumps during the 18th century.
To complete the look, the customers selected satin stainless steel hardware from The Anvil. The side panels feature Canterbury etched glass, adding an elegant finishing touch to the entrance.
Using engineered timber keeps the beautiful and tactile qualities of traditional wood but avoids the innate expansion and contraction issues that can occur from using solid wood. Engineered (multi-layered) timber is created by layering wood sections, with the grain of one section being layered in the opposing direction to the grain of its neighbour. Cleverly layering in this manner ensures any movement caused by absorption of moisture is evened out.
This leads to stronger, longer lasting windows and doors. Making sure they stay a perfect fit-just as the day they were installed.
