At Assured Gate Services, we completed a new installation of automated swing gates in Derbyshire. This involved fitting elegant Idigbo hardwood swing gates on dry stone wall pillars, complementing a beautifully restored period cottage. The result was a perfect harmony of traditional aesthetics and modern technology, improving the functionality and charm of the property.
The choice of Idigbo hardwood was pivotal for this project. Known for its durability and natural beauty, Idigbo is an excellent material for gates. Its warm tones and grain pattern made it a fitting match for the character of the period cottage, adding a timeless touch to the entrance.
Our Engineers worked meticulously to make sure the gates were crafted to the highest standards. The robust hardwood ensures long-term resilience while maintaining its visual appeal, making it ideal for both residential and heritage properties.
To bring modern functionality to the traditional design, we equipped the gates with advanced automation systems. The automated swing mechanism allows for smooth and reliable operation, providing convenience and security for the homeowners. The discreet placement of automation components ensures they do not detract from the rustic appearance of the gates and surrounding dry stone wall.
The gates were mounted on beautifully crafted dry stone wall pillars, which are an iconic feature in Derbyshire’s rural landscape. These pillars were restored and reinforced to make sure they could support the weight and movement of the gates while preserving their traditional look.
This careful integration of the gates with the stone pillars required precise measurements and expert installation techniques. Our team made sure the gates operated flawlessly while complementing the natural charm of the cottage and its surroundings.
The restored period cottage is full of character, and it was essential for the gates to match its aesthetic. The Idigbo hardwood swing gates and dry-stone wall pillars create an entrance that blends seamlessly with the property’s historic features, while the automation adds a practical modern element.
Every gate automation project we undertake is unique, and this installation in Derbyshire was no exception. By combining traditional materials with modern technology, we provided a bespoke solution that met the client’s needs and added to the overall appeal of their home. We’re delighted with the outcome of this project and proud to have contributed to the transformation of such a stunning property.
