When it isn’t feasible to source a fine wood beam for your Abergavenny property, call Replistone, the alternative woodworkers
The Abergavenny area contains many fine period properties, both residential and commercial, which are a joy to those who occupy and use them. Maintaining them in good shape and keeping them true to their heritage is a labour of love.
When improvements and renovations are planned, ideally these are carried out using matching materials and styling, but this can sometimes be difficult to achieve. In certain circumstances genuine aged wood beams are difficult to source and any that are to be found can be difficult, expensive or impossible to bring to site.
What can you do under these circumstances, when the project could be severely compromised by failing to match the visible features? Replistone the alternative woodworkers have the answer.
Winner of the 2011 Abergavenny Business Award for Innovation, Replistone's artistic and experienced operative can create a unique surface dressing that will replicate exactly the genuine wood finish you are looking for, to ensure your renovation project is true to your building and still within budget.
Cheaper than bringing aged wood beams to site and cutting them to size for installation, Replistone's innovative woodworkers technique uses a plaster mix that is shaped, engraved and stained to replicate the look and texture of old wood.
They will match the finish to any existing beams on, around or close to the surface they work on, and the new 'wood' work will be indistinguishable in style, colour and texture from the original. This amazing process is far quicker, cheaper and more ecologically sound than using real old beams.
Rather than having a huge lorry delivering a lengthy wooden beam to your Abergavenny property, Replistone's alternative solution requires just one small truck load of their special ingredients to create a superb finish that any traditional woodworkers would be proud of, but in far less time and costing you far less money.
This process has been used successfully at many beautiful Abergavenny properties, including listed buildings, family homes, pubs and hotels, to ensure that the look of a building is not compromised for reasons of economy or access problems.
It can be used on vertical and horizontal surfaces to create convincing wood effect features, especially on sites where it would have been difficult for a lorry carrying real beams to reach.
Traditional woodworkers take years to train and their skill is an exact art; so is the task of replicating aged wooden beams. The technique is precise and the attention to detail is astonishing - and the savings that can be made are very pleasing indeed!
Replistone's alternative woodworkers skill is accessible to a broader range of projects and can be used in a far wider range of circumstances than wood beams, especially where those beams are difficult or expensive to obtain, or would be impossible to deliver or install.
So if your renovation project requires traditional specialist woodworkers, before committing yourself to the expense of using their skills, call Replistone on 07530 302191 and see how much more cheaply and quickly your project could be completed.
