The
old door
|
Yes
you have read it correctly...Leadbitter Glass recently
created a beautiful Victorian style door glass set to
help
bring a clients home back to its former beauty. Mr & Mrs
Fox from Bedford bought their elegant home recently but
did not like one of the 1990's so-called 'home
improvements' that was made to the home by
the previous owner - this PVC door.
This PVC door did not fit in with the traditional look of
the home and Mr and Mrs Fox made it a priority to replace
this focal point of their home as soon as possible. Going
back to the 'good old days' of elegance and quality does
not mean that your home has to suffer with glass and door
frames that are not energy
efficient. The new double glazed
door glass was created using toughened Pilkington
K Glass designed and supplied by Leadbitter Glass
and an energy effiecient door frame supplied by a local
joinery company. The whole door was manufactured to meet
today's strict building regulations.
The
first thing we did at Leadbitter Glass was to listen to
the client and discuss their ideas and goals for the project.
Mr and Mrs Fox supplied a photo of an original stained glass
door set and we went about creating an exact scale 'proof'
for their new door glass. The design was uploaded to our
Client Pagessection
of the website and after viewing the mock-up Mr and Mrs
Fox made a few adjustments to the colours and the design
was ready to go.
Mr and Mrs Fox wanted a door glass that was very original
and colourful but at the same time, held a great level of
obscurity. All of the colours of this design were 'doubled
up' with an etched film called Sandblast
to help take away some of the transparency of the
coloured areas. This was a great way of achieving a higher
level of obscurity for the clients entrance way. To keep
in with the Victorian style of the home, all of the lead
was soldered and aged to give the glass that 'old' appearance.
The doorway to this elegant home now blends in perfectly
with the style of the building and Leadbitter Glass have
helped create a centre piece that will not look out of
place
in years to come. Gone is the 'new but already
dated'
diamond lead PVC door and in came this beautiful traditional
doorway that really is the new focal point of this home.
