Chevron solid oak parquetry a must in French Provincial design.

          There is no denying the fascinating effect a chevron floor always exerts on your visitors, whether in a slick dark chocolate finish as in the pictures on this page, or in a more rustic, bevelled and brushed finish.

          The Good House is proud to have supplied chevron blades for some remarkable projects around Melbourne, to the utmost satisfaction of our clients, for now 17 years. Please note that we are one of the very few companies in Melbourne supplying chevron blades strictly in the "all 4 side Tongue & Groove" type, that will stand the test of time like no other.

          We keep regular stock of raw products, and factory finished products are usually available within 6 to 10 weeks.
          Unfinished stocked products include herringbone and chevron parquet, Versailles and Chantilly panels, solid certified French oak wide boards (220mm wide - up to 5m long / 180mm wide up to 2.5m) and 21/6 x 220mm engineered boards.
          Feel free to contact us for price information and stock availability. Our service also includes free layout drawing if you can provide a CAD file of your floor plan when you place your order with TGH.

Dormer windows a touch of style in French Provincial Design

          A French Provincial gem, located just off the Golden Mile, Mount Albert Road in Surrey Hill, and built by renown boutique artisan Chris Hardy (www.frenchprovincialhomes.com.au) recently sold at a significant price tag.

          This is what you can expect when you get it right from scratch, and at The Good House we've been promoting and supporting good design, complemented with the right choice of materials, for more than 16 years. If you are unsure where to start, feel free to seek advice for your next project, this is what our Consultancy Service is all about !

         This project features our dormer windows, a simple item that proves there is no need to spend big money to achieve balance and style, but a genuine product is the key. These dormer windows are the exact reproduction of a traditional French roof window, only a lot easier to install than the original ones that were made of cast iron !
          Also featured but somehow hidden in the greenery are our genuine Anduze garden vases, in their ever popular weathered finish.

          At The Good House we try hard to make your life easier !

The most beautiful door in Melbourne ?

                      If you ever wondered where is the most beautiful entrance door installed in Melbourne in recent years,  you might as well travel to Malvern. With so many leafy streets and hidden gems concealed within lush gardens, Malvern is a place of past and present wonders.

                    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.

   

          All our doors are custom made in France by renown French cabinet making and wood carving company Bruno BERTOLI - Follow this link to their website: http://www.bertoli.fr
