Cheval The Edinburgh Grand Hotel – French Polishing for Internal Doors

Modern French Polishing for the Cheval Grand Hotel in Edinburgh – Spray Painting of New Oak Doors

As a trusted subcontractor for a respected fit-out company based in Glasgow, we had the privilege of contributing to the refurbishment of a prestigious hotel located in the heart of Edinburgh – Cheval The Edinburgh Grand.

Our responsibility was to carry out the staining and lacquering of brand-new, solid oak doors. We received all the necessary materials directly from the client, including a custom-coloured stain selected to perfectly complement the hotel’s interior design scheme, as well as a premium-quality topcoat lacquer to ensure a durable and flawless finish. The doors and accompanying oak frames were delivered to our workshop in batches, allowing us to maintain a smooth and efficient workflow. Each door underwent a meticulous preparation process before being spray-finished to achieve a consistent, professional standard. Once completed, the finished doors and frames were carefully transported and installed at the hotel, ensuring they arrived in pristine condition.

In addition to the oak doors, we were also commissioned to work on a variety of other key elements within the project. This included refinishing bespoke furniture pieces such as the main reception desk and several other custom-made fittings, all crafted to the same exact standards.

Restoration Work on Existing Hotel Doors On-Site in Edinburgh

The second phase of the project focused on the restoration and refinishing of the hotel’s original doors to harmonise seamlessly with the newly manufactured ones. Our goal was to ensure that no visual difference could be detected between old and new, maintaining the hotel’s cohesive and elegant aesthetic. This complex restoration process began with the careful stripping of the existing lacquer layers from each door. We then carried out thorough sanding to prepare the surfaces for refinishing. Using the same staining and spray-lacquering techniques applied to the new doors, we meticulously restored each original door to match both the colour and finish of the new installations. Thanks to our attention to detail and commitment to craftsmanship, the final result was truly exceptional. All the doors, whether new or original, blended perfectly with one another, enhancing the sophisticated character of the hotel’s refurbished interiors and leaving a lasting impression of quality and elegance.
