The Grand Entrance: Bespoke Timber Doors for Edinburgh’s Historic Homes
Edinburgh’s unique charm lies in its stunning architecture, from the Old Town’s medieval closes to the New Town’s Georgian grandeur. Many of these iconic properties fall within conservation areas, requiring a sensitive approach to any home improvements, especially when it comes to the crucial first impression: your front door.
At Hilston & Bennett, we understand the specific needs of Edinburgh’s historic homes. With decades of experience since our establishment in 1981, we specialise in crafting bespoke timber doors that not only enhance the beauty of your property but also adhere to the strict guidelines of conservation areas and the requirements of listed buildings.
Why Choose a Bespoke Timber Door for Your Edinburgh Home?
For properties in Edinburgh’s picturesque conservation areas, a mass-produced door simply won’t do. Here’s why a custom-made timber door from Hilston & Bennett is the ideal choice:
- Authenticity & Character: Timber doors are inherently beautiful and can be crafted to perfectly match the architectural style of your property, whether it’s a Victorian tenement or a Georgian townhouse. This authenticity is key to preserving Edinburgh’s unique streetscapes.
- Durability & Security: Crafted from high-quality, sustainably sourced timber, our doors are built to withstand the Scottish climate and provide robust security, offering peace of mind.
- Enhanced Kerb Appeal: A beautifully designed and expertly installed timber door instantly elevates your home’s exterior, adding significant value and charm. It’s truly the focal point of your facade.
- Thermal Efficiency: Modern timber doors, designed and manufactured with precision in our own factory, offer excellent insulation properties, helping to keep your home warm and reduce energy bills.
- Conservation Compliance: Our deep understanding of local planning regulations means we can guide you through the process, ensuring your new door meets all necessary conservation area guidelines and listed building requirements.
