Background
Rachel Richardson and her husband live in a charming period home and were passionate about maintaining the authenticity of their residence, and subsequently were seeking out a replica replacement door that would seamlessly blend tradition with modern functionality.
Challenges Faced
The Richardsons expressed a deep attachment to their original front door, which had unique features that reflected the era in which their house was built. Their primary concern was to replicate the door with meticulous attention to detail while incorporating contemporary features such as advanced locking systems, draft-proofing, and double-glazed units.
Solution
Understanding the significance of the project, our team at Tailored Wood engaged in a comprehensive consultation with the clients. We began by meeting on site with the customer to gain insight into their specific requirement and preferences.
To ensure an accurate reproduction of the original door, our team created detailed planning drawings that captured every detail. These drawings served as a foundation for further refinement in collaboration with the clients. Multiple iterations were undertaken to guarantee that the final design not only replicated the aesthetic appeal of the original door, but also met the modern functional requirements outlined by the Richardsons.
Key Features of the Replacement Door

Every detail of the original door, from the style of the panels to the pencil rounds, was meticulously replicated to ensure a seamless match with the architectural style of the house. - Modern Locking Systems
To enhance security, the replacement door was equipped with a heritage multipoint lock, providing the Richardsons with peace of mind and meeting contemporary security standards. - Draft-Proofing
Weatherstripping and advanced draft-proofing measures were incorporated to enhance energy efficiency and comfort within the home, without compromising the vintage charm of the door. - Double-Glazed Units
The replacement door featured double-glazed units, offering improved insulation and noise reduction while maintaining the clarity and appearance of traditional single-pane glass.
Collaboration & Client Satisfaction

The end result was a beautifully crafted replacement front door that seamlessly integrated the charm of the original design with cutting-edge functionality.
