Who would be the best person to help you find suitable fixtures
and fittings for doors and windows?
Architects are trained to create designs that are structurally
sound, functional, and aesthetically pleasing. They also often
have a basis knowledge of construction materials, though not the
detailed knowledge required when choosing appropriate hardware.
Interior designers specialize in the decorating and furnishing
of rooms and can offer fresh, innovative ideas and advice, but
will be concentrating on the appearance rather than how the
fittings work.Maybe a blacksmith or metal worker would be the
person to ask.. No, a joiner is the best person to give advise.
Joiners understand what is needed, they have made doors and
windows and know how big a hinge would be needed to hold the
weight of a solid oak door, or which lock would fit properly and
safely in rebated french windows.
Advise is often needed as good quality hardware can be
expensive. You need to get the right thing, before cutting holes
in your precious doors and windows.Architectural Ironmongery Ltd
is run by trained joiners with over getting on for 90 years of
joinery knowledge and experience between the three of them. They
are happy to discuss restoration projects with their customers,
giving advise when necessary. The retail and mail order business
is based in Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire, England, but ships world
wide and has a huge amount and variety of hardware in stock.
