Bow House, Inc. takes a particular and studied approach to the idea of craftsmanship. We begin with selection. Materials matter. Wrought hinges add beauty as well as function. We go on with a practiced eye to joinery and to the way in which pieces fit together to create a whole object, a complete experience. Patience is important. The right touch that makes things come quietly together is more effective than a sledge. Fitting, not forcing, together adds to lasting value and to durability. Craftsmanship requires knowledge and practice and a sense of proportion.

"Quality" and "craftsmanship" are very easy words to employ in advertising copy, but what do they mean? Here, quality begins with the materials. Something that is nailed is not as strong a something that is screwed together. A screw that is too short is not as good as a screw of appropriate length. Quality extends to craftsmanship and taking care in the assembly of things. To us, quality means building something for life.

In the spaces where you spend your time, Bow House attends to the fine point, to the curve, or mass, or the light that catches the eye. Bow House gives attention to the shape of a latch, the detail of a stair, the placement of a window, the mantle for pictures, a clock and in the season, the stockings hung. Utility of design attends to the quality of passing through - and living in - this space that you will create. Hinges, mullions, mouldings, balance and proportion - all deserve care. Inside your Bow House you will find that we take great care with the placement of the things that surround you. We create a suitable environment, one in which you can entertain others or entertain yourself with a quiet moment, a good book or an engaging conversation. We blend the best of time honored design with the most valuable of modern amenities to create spaces for living.
