Owning a listed building is a privilege anyone who owns one is aware of, being in the presence of something steeped in serious historical value and art. However, there are some shortcomings. As those of you who live in these buildings are well aware, any alterations and changes made to the building must follow a certain set of rules laid out by the government to ensure the preservation of the historical integrity and value of these buildings. These listings can extend to inside of the house, placing more steps in the home modification process. While this can be a bit of a headache to navigate, it is ultimately the best decision to ensure the home continues to hold its significance within society and prevent the homogenisation of home architecture.

Here at Camelot, we have much experience working with listed homes, and our canopies are more than suitable to preserve and even add to the history of your home while also providing warmth to your living areas. For example, our cottage style canopies, with their historical and artistic flair, are the perfect addition to your listed home. Paired with our Twin Skin design, you now have a historic, aesthetically attractive and fully functional open fire that can comply with the strict building regulation that listed buildings within the UK must adhere to.

Some of our more artistic accessory designs can accompany this, as seen below. For example, these hand cut floral dog irons inspired by a traditional design pattern or any other of our bespoke metal options. The handmade aspect ensures that each piece can be entirely unique to the style of your historic home, allowing for design choices that bring your home into this modern time while still preserving the history of the building, for example with the classic dark gun metal finish seen on a lot of our canopies.
