Architectural Metalwork
We manufacture a wide range of products including staircases, bridges, balconies, and balustrading, escape and access stairs.
Working with Architects and Main Contractors to provide the most appropriate solution to fulfil project requirements. This allows the production of bespoke designs in the most cost effective manner, offering the opportunity to specify individual requirements and to incorporate key architectural features. Changes to any submitted design can be easily accommodated.
The most effective methods of fixing are suggested to reflect a suitable application relevant to the type of project undertaken.
We undertake the design, production and installation of all types of stairs and balustrades for all areas of application. A great deal of the company’s work is bespoke to specific project requirements. Projects have been undertaken in many sectors, including retail, office developments, education, healthcare, leisure, residential and the prison sector.
All products are designed to comply with BS5395: Part 2 1984 (spiral and helical staircases) and Building Regulations: Approved Document K (straight flight stairs).
All staircases and balustrades are manufactured from either stainless or mild steel. Handrails and balustrades may also be provided in other materials such as aluminium and brass.
Staircases can be produced in straight, spiral or helical form. All are fabricated to specific design criteria, catering for a true ‘one-off’ requirement. Glass, mesh, perforated sheet, tension cables and laser cut sheet infill can be specified and other materials may also be available on request. Top rails can be stainless steel, mild steel, timber, polyester or nylon coated. We can also provide thermoplastic polymer alloy coating, conforming to UK Building Regulations (2000), “Access to and Use of Buildings”, Parts M1 and M2 which stipulates that handrails need to be “slip resistant and not cold to the touch”, which came into force in May 2004.
