Doorways

No architectural element other than windows is more significant to the appearance and character of a period building than the entrance. Our doorways are built with the finest quality lumber using period profiles, details and proportions to match the style of your building. We can work from architectural drawings, photographs or an existing example to reproduce the doorway. Whether it's a simple box frame, with a bulls-eye glass transom, or an elaborate Federal-style entry, with sidelights and an elliptical fanlight, our approach to design and construction ensures museum quality and architectural authenticity.

Woodwork Reflects the Design Intent of Classical Architects

In addition to period and custom windows, sash, doors and doorways, we also design and manufacture reproduction architectural millwork in many styles. From simple fireplace breast panels to elaborate Georgian rooms with fluted pilasters, dentiled cornices and hidden doors, our millwork accurately reflects the period. Over the years we have reproduced hundreds of classical mouldings from baseboards to crowns.

Whereas modern mouldings are designed with maximum lumber yield in mind, classical architects understood the importance of proportion, geometry and shadow when designing mouldings. There is truly a difference and we are proud to offer these beautiful mouldings in any species of lumber. Whenever possible we source lumber from suppliers who comply with The Forest Stewardship Council's sustainable forestry standards.
