First and foremost we are a British manufacture and we take great pride in the high quality of our work and our skilled artisans. We, like most British manufacturers, need your continued support.
You are probably unaware that many "so called British manufacturers" actually import doors from mainland Europe and the Far-East then hang and swing them in their own frames!! This obviously has an impact upon the carbon footprint and all too often the reality is not disclosed to you during the estimating and order stage.
At EDSL's we have a wealth of knowledge and experience of joinery and doorsets whether on the shop floor or in the office. As a bespoke manufacture we offer a first class service and very rarely limit you as to what can be achieved.
Where required, we are happy to present or prepare samples so that everyone involved; Architects, Interior Designers, Property Developers, Contractors and end-users can view, comment and come to an agreement.
As part of our "one stop shop" commitment, for our clients, please speak to us about Ironmongery, Architrave, Skirting, Plinth Blocks, Dados, Picture Rails, Window Boards, Corner Blocks and alike.
Absolutely. We are happy to receive Orders from Specifiers, Contractors or the End Client.
If you do not have an "account" with EDSL then Orders can be placed with a 50% deposit and the balance payable 10 days prior to delivery.
Please note for overseas projects EDSL will manufacture and deliver to a mainland UK destination/port from where the "client" must make their own arrangements for the onward journey. It would be advisable to discuss your packaging requirements at an early stage (at estimating) so that this can be costed together with any other speacial requirements.
Yes. Occasionally the dimensions you require may exceed the parameters for any relevant performance requirements that you may also require such as Fire, Acoustics and Security.
Yes.
EDSL offer Doors, Screens, Fanlights and Sidelights with a variety glazing options, beading, glazing bars, fire ratings and acoustic properties. Occasionally due to the weight and size of a particular item the glass will be supplied separate, though cut to size with glazing beads also cut to size, mitered and loose pinned.
EDSL quotations are valid for 60 days with full fluctuation thereafter.
EDSL can offer an extensive range of finishes from primer to stains and oils.
We also offer a colour and sheen matching service. However, please note that timber and veneers are a natural product and that the Stains, Lacquers, Oils, Sheens and alike can offer variations when applied. In addition if you are trying to match the floor to the door then because the door and floor are at right angles to each the "light" will create a noticeable difference even though the two have the same stain and look very similar when viewed at the same angle.
NOTE: Please allow primed doors(sets) to “acclimatise” on site for at least 2-3 weeks before applying an undercoat or the top-coats (remember to de-nib in between coats!).
When you are viewing the door look for the hinge knuckles.
a) When the door is closed, if the hinge knuckles are on the right, then this is a Right Hand Hung Doorset.
b) When the door is closed, if the hinge knuckles are on the left, then this is a Left Hand Hung Doorset.
Ideally, we would request floor plans that accurately detail the door handing (swing).
EDSL definition of a pre-hung doorset is a factory hung door in its frame. EDSL would hinge recess the doors and frames and where required grooves for fire smoke/intumescent strips.
Architraves, Plinth Blocks, Corner Blocks do not form part of the EDSL defined pre-hung doorset. Similarly, ironmongery prep-work such lock mortising, letter-plates, spy holes, drop-seals and the mortise of flush-bolts, although offered, do not form part of the EDSL pre-hung doorset.
As a guide, for Flush Doorset, we would advise 6 weeks from receipt of Order and Confirmation of all Relevant Details.
For Joinery Doorset, please allow for 8 weeks from receipt of Order and Confirmation of all Relevant Details.
Please note for overseas projects EDSL will manufacture and deliver to a mainland UK destination/port from where the "client" must make their own arrangements for the onward journey. It would be advisable to discuss your packaging requirements at an early stage (at estimating) so that this can be costed together with any other speacial requirements.
