Burton Memorial Hall new doors August 2021

New doors for the Memorial Hall

On 3rd and 4th of August, 2021, our new white uPVC double-glazed entrance doors were installed, replacing the tired, old, single-glazed wooden doors which let in the draughts and ran with condensation every winter. 

The work was done by D.J. Glazing Ltd. of Kendal, who have replaced the difficult double doors with a wider single one, to make access easier for anyone with a wheelchair or baby buggy.

The lower panels are solid to help retain the heat, whilst the upper panels are glazed to allow good visibility and light in the entrance lobbies.

Our grateful thanks go to The Hadfield Trust for their generous grant which helped to pay for the new doors, which will improve security, accessibility and comfort for users of the Hall.
