Panel Styles
The Dorchester Hotel, Mayfair
As a bespoke manufacturer, we can create almost any style of door to suit your project, typically classified into the styles below.
Panelled doors
The Longden range of panelled doors can be classified into four types that being; Chippendale, Copeland, Hepplewhite and Sheraton panels. Panel doors are suitable for either internal or external applications depending on timber selection. In addition, glazing can be used in place of any of the panels.
Boarded doors
Longden also manufacturers boarded doors in contemporary or traditional styles. These can be in either a horizontal or vertical design and beaded glazed apertures can be incorporated into the design.
Glazed doors
Glazed doors and doorsets are included within the Longden range and can either be fully glazed, as in the Rivelin doorset, or by replacing any number of the panels in the door with glass to create the desired effect.
Whatever the environment or requirement, we can work with you from the standard to the absolutely unique.
At Longden we pride ourselves on being truly bespoke manufacturers. As such we are able to adapt, create and suggest door styles suitable for your project surroundings.
Sheraton Panels
The Connaught, Mayfair
Sheraton flat panel doorsets offer the perfect combination of classic contemporary styling and high quality traditional construction. The flat panels within the Sheraton range are manufactured from high performance materials, selected to suit particular applications. The flat panels are tongued into grooves within the framings; they are typically 13mm thick for FD30 doors and 26mm for FD60.
Hepplewhite Panels
Grosvenor Square, Mayfair
Hepplewhite panels are available in 32mm or 45mm thick panels, with the gap between the panels, stile and rails of the door being 15mm. The 45mm thick panels are the same width as the door itself – providing a sleek flush finish.
The Hepplewhite can be specified with glazed panels to enhance a room’s natural light. It is available in a range of hardwoods sourced from responsibly managed forests, including European Oak, Rock Maple, and American Black Walnut.
Chippendale Panels
The Lime Wood Hotel, Lyndhurst, New Forest
Typically raised and fielded Chippendale panels are constructed from timber. The panels are tongued into grooves within the framings; they are typically 32mm thick for non-rated and FD30 doors and 45mm thick for FD60.
Copeland Panels
Astons Road, Moor Park
Add a contemporary touch to traditional raised and fielded panel constructions with the Copeland panel incorporating a square shoulder or splay profile. As with the Chippendale panel construction, the panels are tongued into grooves within the framings; they are typically 32mm thick for non-rated and FD30 doors and 45mm thick for FD60.
Steel Reinforced Panels
Weston Park Museum, Sheffield
An Englishman’s home is his castle and peace of mind is paramount, especially when it comes to luxury properties.
But unfortunately, security and style don’t often go hand-in-hand – especially when it comes to doors.
However, Longden’s Churchill doorset is different.
Available in a variety of beautiful panelled styles including the Raised and Fielded Chippendale, the Copeland, the Sheraton flat or the contemporary Boarded, each is individually handcrafted to order from the highest quality timber.
Unlike regular fire resistant and sound reduction panelled doors, the Churchill doorset incorporates reinforced steel in each of the panels. It can achieve a sound reduction of up to 30RwdB for FD30’s and 37RwdB for FD60’s.
This makes Longden’s Churchill door the natural choice for gunrooms or wine stores, in addition to the more traditional external apartment entrance doors. In fact, whatever your requirements, Longden’s experts can suggest, adapt and create the perfect custom door for you.
