Cornwall Carpenters, M.P Faulkner can provide a wide range of carpentry and joinery services in addition to their building services.
Here are just a few ideas of the carpentry services we can provide:
Using traditional materials and techniques, our work is based upon the idea of keeping any timber structures consistent with the historical characteristics of individual buildings and their local landscapes.
We use locally sourced and sustainable timber rather than the imported European softwoods that are often used in modern roofing and other timber structures.
Doors:
Wooden doors are durable and can increase the value of a property and in recent, many homeowners and office managers like to use them. Every home has different kinds of doors and doorways. The two main types of door obviously being the interior and exterior doors.
Exterior doors tend to be the more heavy of the two and usually come with glass or windows, have a certain level of security and have weather resistant features. Front doors are generally created to give visitors a good impression of your home as well as providing you with a great deal of security. Generally, these are made of solid wood. Back doors, on the other hand, tend to be much less elaborate but still provide a great deal of insulation and security.
Interior doors are usually lighter in weight and are generally not weather resistant. Interior doors not only include bedroom doors but also other types including closet doors and by-pass doors.
Bedroom doors are usually hollow at their core and are made to provide a limited amount of privacy. These doors can be both attractive and elaborate as in recent years attention to fine detail is becoming more and more popular with home owners. Another type of lightweight door, which normally doesn't have any security features can be used to separate rooms. These may be of solid or hollow core, but are mainly chosen to be quite thin.
If you want hardwood doors to enhance your home, or need advice on choosing the ideal materials for you, please do not hesitate to call us on 01736 360607 and we would be more than happy to help you with any queries that you may have.
Flooring:

Wood flooring is a very popular alternative to other methods of flooring, owners of older homes are ripping out their carpets to expose the house's beautiful original hardwood flooring. Older hardwood floors may require re-finishing in order to restore their luster and waterproof features and they may not be able to handle the heavy-duty traffic that more modern floors can, but nothing beats their natural visual appeal and impact.
The richness of a natural hardwood floor can instantly add warmth to any room. Today’s wooden floors come in more styles and colours than ever before and with proper care, hardwood flooring can last a lifetime. Wood floors are a natural non-allergenic product and can add significant value to your home.
