St. Joseph’s Redemptorists Church, Dundalk, Ireland

Built in 892 the Church of St Joseph is a stunning building built from granite and its interior features coloured with marble and intricate mosaics.

ICS undertook the refurbishment of almost 100 pews. Each pew was broken down, stripped back, sanded and then refinished. The quality of the beautiful wood in these original pews was able to once again come through. New kneelers were also added.

In addition to this ICS designed and manufactured storage units in the entrance of the church.  These units were designed not only to hold literature and newsletters but to also house their donations. Brass fronting highlights where the envelopes and cash donations go. A built in safe also enables the safe storage of these donations. The unit also cleverly houses the churches contactless payment screen in a tasteful manor ensuring that technology sits well  in with what is a very traditional space.

The churches remembrance board also needed to be updated. A reproduction panel was created in the same colour, engraving style and gold letter
