Glass Staircases
We design and install bespoke glass staircases tailored to commercial and residential spaces. Using high-quality materials like toughened glass and stainless steel, our staircases combine safety with aesthetic appeal. Ideal for retail stores, offices, and heritage buildings, they create focal points while meeting strict building regulations.
Glass Balustrades
Our glass balustrades offer modern, durable solutions for commercial and residential properties. Framed or frameless designs with stainless steel infills ensure compliance with safety standards while enhancing natural light flow. Perfect for offices, hotels, and educational facilities.
Structural Steel Beams
We manufacture structural steel beams up to 100ft in length, including cranked and tee beams. Designed for commercial and industrial projects, these beams provide robust support while adhering to CE Mark Standards for precision and durability.
Mezzanine Floors
Our mezzanine floors optimise vertical space in commercial and residential buildings. Custom-designed with steel or glass components, they offer cost-effective expansion solutions without requiring relocation, ideal for retail and office environments.
Metal Fire Escapes
We create bespoke metal fire escapes compliant with UK safety regulations. Durable and weather-resistant, these structures ensure safe evacuation in emergencies, suitable for schools, hospitals, and high-rise buildings.
