Gothic Door: Doors in Gothic houses
were usually unglazed. In the most strongly Gothic houses, doors were
ledged, with vertical planks or planks in a herringbone pattern. Oak was
a prized wood. After 1860 it was more common to see glazed and leaded
front doors. Typical colours used for painted front doors of pine or
deal were dark blue, chocolate brown (favoured by Eastlake), deep red,
or else olive green. Graining was also used. A key feature of the front
door was a set of ornamental fittings, ideally in wrought iron. Regular
door-to-door postal deliveries began in 1840 and the small letter-plate
was introduced. Larger items were received by a maid or other domestic
servant. The other furniture was a knocker and a pull to help to close
the door. Internal Gothic doors might have been ledged, or else were
panelled. As with the front door, those of better quality wood were
polished, while those of pine and deal were either grained or painted.
They were fitted with finger plates of iron or else brass.
Door: is a generally floor-length
opening in a wall (or other partition), often equipped with a hinged or
sliding panel which can be moved to leave the opening accessible, or to
close it more or less securely. Doors are nearly universal in structures
of all kinds (especially houses and other buildings), allowing passage
between inside and outside, or among internal rooms. Doors are also
found in vehicles, cupboards, cages, etc. The purpose of a door opening
is: to allow people, animals and objects to pass and for ventilation.
The purpose of a door closure is: preventing passage of air; reducing
air drafts and creating an enclosed space that can be heated or cooled
more effectively (revolving doors are especially efficient for this
purpose), privacy and noise reduction, keeping occupants inside a
vehicle, regulation of access, especially when combined with various
types of locks, for aesthetics (e.g. cupboard doors cutting off view of
the contents) and to help prevent the spread of fire. Doors and doorways
can also appear in metaphorical or mystical situations; for example, a
spiritualist might speak of "opening a door to the other world". Doors
can have ritual purposes (one example concerns the doorkeeping duties of
the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod). The term door can refer either to
the opening or to the movable panel which closes it. The term doorway
can be used to refer specifically to the opening. When framed in wood
for snug fitting of a door, the doorway consists of two vertical jambs
on either side, a lintel or head jamb at the top, and perhaps a
threshold at the bottom.
Wood: is derived from woody plants,
notably trees but also shrubs. Wood from the latter is only produced in
small sizes, reducing the diversity of uses. In its most common meaning,
"wood" is the secondary xylem of a woody plant, but this an
approximation only: in the wider sense, wood may refer to other
materials and tissues with comparable properties. Wood is a hygroscopic,
cellular and anisotropic material. Dry wood is composed of fibers of
cellulose (40%–50%) and hemicellulose (15%–25%) held together by lignin
(15%–30%). Uses: Wood has been used for millennia for many purposes,
being many things to many people. One of its primary uses is as fuel. It
is also used as a material, for making artworks, boats, buildings,
furniture, ships, tools, weapons, etc. Wood has been an important
construction material since humans began building shelters, and remains
in plentiful use today. Construction wood is commonly known as timber in
International English, and lumber in American English. Wood may be
broken down and be made into chipboard, engineered wood, hardboard,
medium-density fibreboard (MDF), oriented strand board (OSB), paper or
used to make other synthetic substances. Formation: A tree increases in
diameter by the formation, between the old wood and the inner bark, of
new woody layers which envelop the entire stem, living branches, and
roots. Where there are clear seasons, this can happen in a discrete
pattern, leading to what is known as growth rings, as can be seen on the
end of a log. If these seasons are annual these growth rings are annual
rings. Where there is no seasonal difference growth rings are likely to
be absent. Within a growth ring it may be possible to see two more or
less well-defined parts. The part nearest the center of the tree is more
open textured and almost invariably lighter in color than that near the
outer portion of the ring. The inner portion is formed early in the
season, when growth is comparatively rapid; it is known as early wood or
spring wood. The outer portion is the late wood or summer wood, being
produced in the summer. [2] In white pines there is not much contrast in
the different parts of the ring, and as a result the wood is very
uniform in texture and is easy to work. In hard pines, on the other
hand, the late wood is very dense and is deep-colored, presenting a very
decided contrast to the soft, straw-colored early wood. In ring-porous
woods each season's growth is always well defined, because the large
pores of the spring abut on the denser tissue of the fall before. In the
diffuse-porous woods, the demarcation between rings is not always so
clear and in some cases is almost (if not entirely) invisible to the
unaided eye.
