HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE
Understanding the historical context of your property and the period in which it was built means understanding the original design and materials used, providing inspiration for the period features to restore, conserve, repair and recreate. Distinctive Finish work with expert architects, conservationists, and historians to ensure best practices, traditional materials and period-appropriate crafting techniques.
EXTERNAL PERIOD FEATURES
From solid wood external doors, stone doorsteps and sash windows, to roof slates, traditional chimney pots, rosemary tiles and stone pathways, external period features can enhance your property's external aesthetics immeasurably.
Distinctive Finish may also utilise architectural salvage yards to source period building materials, such as Cheshire bricks and lime mortars. Our ability to work with these materials is essential when you are looking to seamlessly
extend your property.
INTERNAL PERIOD FEATURES
Distinctive Finish can restore or recreate your internal period features, such as cast iron fireplaces, picture rails, skirtings, ceiling roses, architraves, plinth blocks, period panelling, traditional stair furniture and newel posts, cut string staircases and bespoke staircases.
Our team can create period-appropriate rounded walls, curved corners and stone hearths, whilst our
bespoke joinery can create custom door cases, panel doors, covings, moulding and templates, all made to match the original fixtures and fittings.
