This former Textile Mill was built in 1824 for
Ferguson Brothers Ltd to process imported cotton
from America. This was one of the two major
Cotton Mills in Carlisle which brought
prosperity and employment to the City for many
years. As the Cotton Industry declined, so did
this stunning building until major investment around
2005 when the complex was converted into luxury
apartments. In September 2010,
Origin Direct
installed 55m²
of a
180mm wide, single plank engineered oak floor.
The apartment is of an upside down layout in that
the Lounge and open plan kitchen are on the first
floor with the bedrooms and bathrooms on the ground
floor. With a spiral stair case to take into
consideration, the thickness of the flooring was an
issue so we have installed a 16mm plank of a
Multiply construction. The property has the
signature, steel support columns running throughout
of which we have manufactured solid oak rings to
provide us with a first class finish.
The end
result is superb with the owner of the property
showing some of our potential customers their home
enabling us to secure future business from this
project. |
