The Courtauld Gallery

Doors were prepared in spray booths to allow hand painted ‘Graining’ by leading artisan finishers, Britain & Co.

• Design manufacture and installation of bespoke joinery doorsets and panelling, in both Tulipwood for decoration on site and in factory finished lacquered European Oak.

• Design manufacture and installation of complex European Oak archways & curved ventilation grilles/FCU covers.

• Design, supply and installation of flush doors including High Security metal doorsets to vaults.

• 32nr types of bespoke timber mouldings (skirtings, architraves, picture and dados rails) manufactured to match existing profiles found throughout the galleries.

• Supply and installation of specialised stainless steel cubicles working in collaboration with Kemmlit.

• Numerous other bespoke joinery units such as cabinetry, storage units, display cases and the like.
