Security-rated heritage solutions combine bespoke design with discreet protection and multi-threat mitigation.
As leading designers and manufacturers of high-performance physical security solutions for historical environments, our building hardening products offer the perfect blend of timeless aesthetics and outstanding security performance.
Heritage-style security: why choose bespoke protection?
Heritage-style buildings are historical landmarks valued for their traditional craftsmanship and unique character. However, due to targeted forced entry attempts in search of valuables, damage from decades of wear, and extreme weather conditions, these locations must also provide unrelenting security and durability. This requirement can often result in the use of building hardening solutions with a severe, industrial look, compromising the site’s otherwise traditional aesthetic.
Heritage-style building hardening solutions certified to prominent security standards, including LPS 1175, offer the best of both worlds, seamlessly combining traditional aesthetics with accredited protection.
Stafford Bridge: a balanced blend of style and security
Stafford Bridge’s heritage-style solutions offer the perfect combination of bespoke, traditional design and multi-threat resistance. We engineer each product to help preserve historical character while discreetly integrating protective features.
Designed and manufactured in-house by a team with over 25 years of experience, our bespoke range includes doorsets, windows, secondary glazing, and barsets. During the design process, we integrate reinforced cores without altering the desired appearance. We also spend significant time and resources to ensure each item is rigorously tested and certified to international standards, including LPS 1175. Certification to LPS 1175 ensures our products have successfully completed stringent testing against a range of attack methods, tools, and durations, verifying their robustness against opportunistic or determined forced entry attempts.
Custom finishes we offer include painted, timber, and special options, with a wide selection of panelled, veneered, or grooved textures to seamlessly match the desired aesthetic of Grade 1 and Grade 2 listed buildings.
Heritage-style security solutions by Stafford Bridge
Our heritage-style doorsets can be found on historically significant buildings such as the Royal Courts of Justice—but they are not the only option we offer to enhance the security of these unique sites.
Our recommendation is the use of LPS 1175-certified building hardening solutions not only at entryways, but also at windows and external openings to protect commonly targeted weakpoints.
Discover our heritage range, offering tested and certified multi-threat resistance in timeless, historically accurate designs from entry points to protective barsets.
