Drummonds

http://www.drummonds-arch.co.uk/




Drummonds makes traditional bathroom furniture including freestanding cast iron baths and Victorian style taps, and also solid brass door furniture such as door knobs, knockers, pulls, escutcheons and letterplates. The company also offers what it describes as "a complete flooring service using the very best reclaimed timber, stone and tiles" and has an extensive range of architectural antiques. The company's new website benefits from a neat and classy appearance, displaying photos and details (including dimensions where relevant) of all products in Drummonds' range. There are also pages explaining the traditional Victorian vitreous dry frit (powdered glass) manufacturing process, which Drummonds is apparently the only company in the world still to practice. The site also has a resources section with links to useful sites in bathrooms, home and garden, building and antiques. Awarded a Sapling Commendation. [GAS, 3 Dec 2006].

Eden Garden - Architectural Reclamation and Salvage

http://www.demolitions.co.uk/



Based in Cumbria, UK, Eden Garden Antiques specialise in architectural reclamation and salvage, reclaimed timber for flooring, and antique salvage for UK and export. They claim that "Victorian and other old buildings which have to be demolished... contain superb natural and seasoned timber plus ornamental items. Real wood has less polluting chemicals than laminates or MDF and unlike plastic there is no disposal problem at the end of its life. Using reclaimed timber saves living trees". Illustrated examples feature throughout the site. Continuing the environmental theme, the site also includes an interesting section about a homeowner's (positive) experiences of using solar panels to provide hot water. [GAS, 29 Sep 2006].
