Dreaming of a enclosed oak porch to give your home the ultimate curb appeal?
We recently completed this stunning enclosed oak porch for a lovely customer in Cheshire.
Handmade and individually designed, this enclosed oak porch is made from air-dried, chunky, 8 inch oak.
A Gorgeous, Glazed Oak Porch
To reduce shrinkage and minimise any movement from the oak, at Character Oak we only used air-dried oak for our glazed structures.
This solid oak porch was designed to give our client plenty of room to hang coats and leave their boots before entering their home. And to give their stunning property an entrance porch it deserves.
The Perfect Enclosed Oak Porch – Cheshire
Designed to compliment our client’s cottage perfectly, the porch certainly enhances their home’s appeal.
The oak posts and beams used in this enclosed oak porch are a substantial 8 inches thick and are planed all round (PAR), making the oak smooth to the touch and snag-free.
All of our enclosed structures, from porches to extensions, are direct glazed. We use a fully beaded, rebated glazing system on our air-dried, enclosed oak frames. This method is much like a traditional window casement. Although a more complex process than the surface-mounting method used by the majority of oak framers. we believe the rebated, direct glazing method produces a far superior end product.
Rebated, direct glazing fits the glazing directly inside your frame and as such, doesn’t cover the beauty of the exterior frame or the hand-drawn oak pegs.
Stunning Outside & In
Along with the oak frame, we designed and handmade a new, solid oak door for our clients, too.
Why not take a look at some of our other oak structures and extensions in our oak framing gallery?
All of our oak is handpicked by us at the mill especially for your project and comes from sustainable forests. Sustainability to a key part of our ethos.
