Enriched Tudor Door
A Door With Architectural Status
The Wolsey takes the ribbed Tudor door a stage further, with richer mouldings, more studwork and a pointed arch head, set in a frame with carved spandrels.
The detail recalls the more elaborate joinery of early 16th-century buildings, and it suits entrances where the door should be more than a practical closure.
Like all of our external doors, The Wolsey is individually made, allowing the level of enrichment, ironmongery and finish to be balanced with the architecture around it.
How It Is Made
Arch, Ribs And Studwork
Once the price is agreed, every door is drawn in CAD for your approval before making begins. These are the details that set The Wolsey apart from The Arundel.
Pointed Arch Head
The door and its frame follow a pointed arch, with carved spandrels in the corners of the frame.
Moulded Ribs
Ribs divide the face into three bays, with a richer profile than those on The Arundel.
Studwork
Studs run down each rib, around the arch and along the bottom rail.
Boarded Back
Inside, the framed face is backed with horizontal boards, fixed through with studs and hung on strap hinges.
Door Details
Details Considered Around Every Opening
Each door can be specified around the building, the level of exposure and the way it will be used day to day.
Insurance-Approved Locking Options
Insurance-approved locks can be specified around the door design, the security required and the character of the ironmongery.
Draught Proofing
Discreet seals are considered with the frame so the door remains practical without losing its traditional appearance.
Threshold Bars
Thresholds and weather bars are detailed around the opening, exposure and floor levels.
Traditional Ironmongery
Handles, latches, hinges, knockers and escutcheons can be chosen to suit the period and weight of the door.
Glazing Options
Where natural light is needed, glass, glazing bars and mouldings are proportioned as part of the whole design.
Made-To-Measure Frames
Frames, linings, cills and surrounding joinery can be made with the door for a properly resolved installation.
Solid Timber Construction
Doors are built with traditional joinery methods and sections suited to long-term external use.
Finishes And Colour
Oak finishes, painted finishes and colour matching can be developed around the building and surrounding joinery.
Listed Building Sensitivity
Details can be informed by existing joinery, historic references or conservation requirements where appropriate.
