Stop talking Brexit for goodness sake – we need a new entrance!

Posted on 09/08/2016 by Kelly Adams

Let’s stop talking about Br’exit’ now and start thinking ‘entrance’. Beautiful welcoming entrances that knock the socks off of anything UPVC. Traditional reclaimed wood, traditional stained glass doors, just stunning and solid bespoke beauty from us – Period Projects.

Our wooden front door designs offer exceptional beauty and tradition. They derive their air of quality from their weight, fit and movement.

Solid build is intrinsic in the design of our doors, with an air of tradition and quality.

For our wooden front door designs we offer stained glass options, solid options and toughened glass options.

We can also incorporate fan lights and frames and fittings all in keeping with your design.

Whilst we offer a number of standard traditional designs, such as a Victorian four Panel or six panel Georgian style entrance door, we can easily adapt these to provide a more contemporary door. In fact most features, from glazing to door furniture, offer high levels of customisation to ensure you get the exact look you desire.

Gaps in your wood floors? Reclaimed Wood Slivers are the Answer…

Wood Slivers Southampton

We carefully de-nail, dry and select the best wood for our slivers. Wood slithers are advised on gaps over 3mm to reduce draughts coming through the gaps on pine floor boards. They also provide added strength to the boards. Here are some pictures of the process carried out.

Old or Reclaimed Wood Pine Slivers

Always choose a Reclaimed Pine Sliver on a traditional wood floor, if you go for a new pine, it will stand out like a sore thumb and you will end up with varying colours along your flooring. Many suppliers will try to supply a new pine sliver, which is just not the same as a reclaimed pine sliver in terms of quality and match.

Use “The Old Pine Sliver” to give your floor that professional finish! “Slivering” quickly and easily fills those unsightly gaps in between wooden boards with wedges of old reclaimed floorboard.

Slivers are quick and easy to fit and stop drafts and smells coming up through the floor! The only problem with natural wood flooring is that modern heating and house movement causes boards to retract and expand, causing natural shrinkage and leaving gaps between each board. These collect dust and hair – an issue for those who clean the house. Gaps in floorboards can also result in draughts and creaking. Now, imagine if you could fill those gaps quickly and easily – and get a professional looking natural wooden floor without the gaps?

Well…now you can!

We’ve invented the Sliver, which is used to fill the gaps, helping to prevent dust build up and giving you the chance to create a professional looking floor with minimal fuss. What’s more, if you have a pipe under the floor board, or squeaky boards, rather than nailing it you can put a Sliver in.

The majority of fillers start to shrink, change colour and fall out.

The old pine Sliver – a wedge of reclaimed pine that fills gaps, prevents dust and takes applications of varnish or water-borne sealer finish (which keep floors their natural colour) so you can fill gaps quickly and easily, with minimal fuss!

The Pine Sliver is made from genuine old reclaimed floorboards
