A collaboration between Longden Doors and ironmongery-specialist Samuel Heath has given architects, contractors and interior designers the opportunity to specify complete doorsets that combine the highest quality doors with the best handcrafted ironmongery fittings.
Longden Doors’ recently launched Samuel Heath collection features levers, knobs, door knockers and escutcheons from Samuel Heath’s Contour, Cobden, Profile and Jupiter ranges. It is a partnership that ensures customers will receive a doorset that features fittings boasting the same distinguished level of style and workmanship as the door itself. Customers will also benefit from the convenience of being able to specify all aspects of the doorset in one place.
Each company brings 100s of years of manufacturing experience to the partnership, which means the products they create benefit from methods passed down and perfected by several generations of skilled craftsmen. This experience extends to working with architects and interior designers to incorporate their requirements, while state of the art design and technology ensures their products meet the highest modern standards and appeal to today’s market.
Samuel Heath’s commitment to traditional manufacturing techniques fits perfectly with Longden Doors’ focus on heritage design. Richard Bertram, director of Longden Doors said: “Quality craftsmanship is central to our ethos, as it is with Samuel Heath – both companies in fact boast generations of traditional, quality manufacturing techniques that have led to the production of these high quality ranges.”
“The introduction of the Longden Doors Furniture Collection means we can offer a unique doors solution, whereby the doors and ironmongery are completely complementary. We’re proud to be associated with the Samuel Heath brand and its extensive product offering, which will no doubt prove to be a valuable relationship.”
Available in a range of finishes including chrome, polished brass, polished nickel, stainless steel and antique gold, the Samuel Heath collection aligns seamlessly with Longden Doors’ selection of elegant doorsets. The companies’ shared belief in marrying timeless style with contemporary standards has created a luxury product with craftsmanship at its core that is suitable for high-end homes, hotels and heritage restoration projects.
Editors’ notes:
Longden Doors was established in 1838 in Sheffield and grew to become one of the largest building and civil engineering contractors in 19th century Britain. This is where its commitment to apprentice-based craftsmanship began. It now specialises in architectural joinery and bespoke solid timber panelled doors that combine traditional techniques with contemporary sophistication which has led to its products being specified on an array of prestigious heritage projects.
Birmingham-based Samuel Heath was established in 1820 and began life as a brass founder manufacturing products from bedsteads to giftware and fireside accessories. It has evolved to become an internationally recognised manufacturer of bathroom accessories, taps, showers and architectural hardware. Each piece is meticulously formed from the purest northern European solid brass which is polished by hand to create a flawless finish before undergoing a high quality electroplating process.
