At Appletree we can construct interior or exterior
Ledged, Ledged and Braced, or Framed Ledged and Braced doors and Ledged and
Braced Stable Doors. To help you understand the options, see the following for a
further explanation:
Ledged
Ledged doors are constructed from individual boards or battens that run
vertically and held with two or more horizontal “ledges”. The ledges are usually
thicker pieces of timber and extend across all of the vertical battens. Ledged
doors are particularly good for internal use.
Ledged and Braced
Ledged and Braced doors are constructed in the same manner as Ledged doors, but
with additional boards that run diagonally between the ledges for a stronger,
sturdier door. Ledged and Braced doors are used where stronger internal doors
are required or external use in workshops or outbuildings.
Framed Ledged and Braced
Framed Ledged and Braced doors are true to their name. The Ledged and Braced
door is constructed within a frame protecting and strengthening the boards
vertically and horizontally. This type of door is most used for external home
doors or where stronger doors are required.
Ledged and Braced Stable Doors
Ledged and Braced Stable Doors are the same as Ledged and Braced doors but with
two halves so that the bottom half can be closed, leaving the top half open.
Most Stable doors will have two ledges each for the top and bottom halves of the
door.
Our doors are made fit for purpose to allow for
your size and style requirements. In fact, we have never had a request for two
the same, so we have an array of examples. We use a selection of different
timber thicknesses, widths and profiles (sometimes in the same door). We also
use a selection of different methods to fix the boards to the ledges.
Our materials include new as well as reclaimed timber. We can construct from
hard or soft woods and supply to you unfinished or stained. Glazing can be
accommodated if you wish. We use hand forged furniture including locks as
required.
We specialize in antiquing or aging of wood
creating a distressed look that blends nicely with cottage homes.
As usual, our projects are turn key unless
otherwise specified so installation is included at your convenience. |
