Our featured door is impressive in more ways than just the look.
- Facing North, it was made out of European walnut, a species known for its resilience to sun exposure.
- Measuring 2.7m in height, and 1.8m in width, weighing approximately 400 kilos all together, this is not a flimsy door ! The frame is 54mm thick, and with the mouldings it goes up to 70mm !
- It's all traditional workmanship, mortice and tenons assembled with pins.
- It's fitted with a recessed, multipoint safety locking mechanism (top / middle / bottom)
- A full peripheral rubber seal ensures complete air and water tightness.
I guess when the owner comes home after a tough business day, the silky touch of the walnut timber, the quiet thud of the heavy leaf closing, and the clear click of the brass locks, all contribute to leaving the worries outside, and feeling the strong sense of well deserved ownership softly rushing in his veins.
