- Threshold and seals
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Detail internal frame junctions alongside envelope choices.
What the drawing needs to explain
Draw one bespoke junction at a large scale with every adjoining finish layer. Identify who takes final dimensions and which substrate must be ready for that measurement.
Allow for later maintenance
Keep finishing products and care instructions for each surface. Record how panels or fittings can be reached without damaging adjoining bespoke work.
Which trade-off matters?
A minimal joint or concealed fixing may need extra coordination. Compare the intended appearance with tolerances, maintenance and replaceability before treating a detail as straightforward.
Cost factors for this service
Costs depend on bespoke sizing, materials, hardware and junction repairs. Ask for the scope and selected specification to be described separately.
Bring this to the discussion
Photographs of the existing situation, available drawings and your requirements for entrance & external doors. Identify the elements that should remain.
Questions about the work
What should I discuss before arranging entrance & external doors?
Replacing only the door leaf is appropriate when the existing frame is suitable. Check dimensions, condition and hardware together.
