Joined by colleagues from the Manchester depot, they raised money for local charity, Petrus, which provides residential and day support services for homeless people. They also asked staff and customers to donate food and other items - and encouraged local branches of businesses to get involved: Go Outdoors provided sleeping bags, and Morrisons and Tesco donated gift cards, to buy more food and toiletries. Royal Marines Corporal Phil Eaglesham Returning to Taunton after six months in Afghanistan with the Royal Marines, Corporal Phil Eaglesham was diagnosed with Q fever, a rare bacterial infection. Confined to a wheelchair, he struggled with many practicalities at home - until three Marines charities teamed up with a construction firm to design and build him a new home. Local Howdens staff were keen to contribute: the depot donated a kitchen adapted for wheelchair access, giving Phil the independence to prepare his own meals. 02| A truly local business Howdens and the history of doors Over the centuries, the way doors are made has developed quite gradually and many classic designs are still reflected in the Howdens range today. The door’s role of insulating between a building and the outside world - or between rooms - has given it great significance in the history of architecture. Front doors in particular have always been seen to deserve high quality workmanship and attention to detail. 17th century Doors of all types were usually made from vertical timber planks held together by horizontal ledges. On higher quality doors these were concealed by a second layer of planks. 18th century Panelled doors were more popular, with designs influenced by architecture of the time, often featuring many different combinations of mouldings. 19th century The 6 panel design became standard during the Georgian period and mouldings became more elaborate. The 4 panel door was introduced and the distinctive Victorian innovation was glazed panels, often with cut, stained or acid-etched glass. 20th century & beyond By the 1930s, a modern functional look was becoming fashionable – facing panelled doors with hardboard to create a flush door. More recent developments have focused on creating doors that combine the look of a traditional panelled timber door with the affordability of a flush door. The result is today's moulded door. 21st century In 2011 Howdens was awarded the John Hedgecock memorial award for the Burford collection of internal doors, recognising the very best in design application or ability in joinery manufacture. Thanks to this long history, Howdens now offers a wealth of door designs. We are constantly developing new products to keep pace with changing tastes and meet ever more demanding building regulations. See pages 08 to 129 for our full range of doors.

Although the information below has been written specifically for the handling, installation and decorating of internal and external doors, the general principles of handling apply to all joinery products and cabinetry. Our range of doors, joinery and flooring use real timber and veneers. Wood is a naturally grown material, meaning it is subject to variance in colour and grain. Storage and handling Once purchased, all doors should be handled and stored with care. Doors should never be stored in an area which is subjected to extremes in temperature or direct sunlight. The building should be well ventilated and not recently plastered. Care should be taken in a centrally heated or air-conditioned building where moisture content could build up. When stacking doors, they should be kept flat, on at least three load bearers in order to distribute weight and remain in their packaging to prevent damage. Installation It is essential that doors, both internal and external, are fully sealed and any air gaps plugged immediately after delivery. Doors should be sealed and primed on both faces and all four leading edges. Refer to pages 92, 93, 127, 128 and 129 for full finishing instructions. Any surface that has been cut should be sealed prior to hanging (e.g. drilled, cut for letterboxes, hinges, locks, etc.). This is particularly important when the end grain is exposed. If the door has been preservative treated, any newly exposed wood must be re-treated. When trimming a door to size it is important that equal amounts are removed from both edges. Please refer to individual door fitting instructions for further information. Decoration Products should be clean and dry. The instructions of the paint or stain manufacturer must be adhered to. Please refer to pages 243 and 244 for stains and varnishes. Failure to carry out the recommended instructions for decoration and sealing can seriously affect the performance of the door.
