Ty’n Llan ; Where Tradition and Modern Design Meet
The restoration of Ty’n Llan in Llandwrog presented a unique opportunity to contribute to a project where heritage and modern craftsmanship meet. Ty’n Llan is a lively community pub that has long served as a focal point for local residents, and its refurbishment required an approach that respected the building’s historic character while introducing durable, contemporary joinery elements. Working for the main contractor, T.G. Williams, Derwen Joinery was involved over a two-year period, supplying a wide range of bespoke timber products for both the interior and exterior of the building.
Inside the pub, we manufactured and supplied a internal fire door sets that met modern fire-safety standards without compromising the traditional aesthetic of the building. Door frames were produced supporting the refurbishment of existing doors, allowing the new joinery to blend seamlessly with the existing architecture.
To create warmth and functionality within the main customer areas, we produced Douglas Fir shelving that offered both strength and a natural, attractive finish. One of the most significant features of the project was the fabrication of the Iroko bar top and associated shelving. Iroko was chosen for its durability and rich colouring, making it an ideal material for a high-traffic hospitality environment. The completed bar has become a central focal point within the pub, providing a robust and visually striking feature that will withstand years of use.
Externally, the project required timber products capable of performing in challenging Welsh weather conditions while maintaining a traditional appearance. We supplied three bespoke external doors manufactured entirely from sapele and constructed using traditional mortice and tenon joints. In addition to the doors, we provided new fascia, soffit and barge boards produced in Red Grandis hardwood, a material selected for its durability, consistency and suitability for exterior applications.
