| What is Architectural Salvage? |
|
|
|
| |
The concept of Architectural Salvage
has been around for some time now, as people recognise
the superior quality of the fittings & fixtures
that were once so common in the properties of the
past.
In the modern standardised world of mass production,
it can be almost impossible to find doors etc. of
the right size & style to suit an older property.
Other fittings such as fireplaces, lighting &
door furniture are equally as hard to source. The
quality & individuality that was once expected
& commonplace is often lacking in the modern
equivalent.

This, together with the realisation
that original features can enhance & also be
an investment in the value of a property, comes
the concept of architectural salvage. |

Architectural salvage
has always appealed to us (Ben Kingston, Dave Robson
& Xanthe Bird), as we have been involved in
the renovation of old buildings for some time. We
have a keen, if amateur interest, in Industrial
Archeology & are concerned with the general
lack of recycling within the building industry.
As a company of equal partners, we are all able
to indulge our own specific interests, be it 1950's
plastic handles, kitchen ranges or the joy of welding.
This gives each of us the enthusiasm & impetus
which comes along with never knowing what the next
day will bring. |

At G.A.S. there's always
something happening & several works in progress,
& we're keen to keep this dynamic air to our
warehouse.
While our products are for sale as displayed, we
also offer added services for example:
Doors can be stripped. Where Yale locks etc. have
been fitted, we can expertly patch them with matching
timber. Radiators can be tested & fitted with
modern fittings, blasted, primed & topcoated
if required. |
