Architectural Ironmongery
We manufacture precision-engineered architectural ironmongery using grade T316 stainless steel, ideal for high-traffic commercial environments. Our products combine corrosion resistance with contemporary design, available in satin or mirror polished finishes. Bespoke options include custom PVD coatings and antimicrobial surfaces for healthcare applications.
Bespoke Hardware
Our CAD/CAM design service creates tailored hardware solutions from concept to installation. Specialising in unique shapes and finishes, we produce one-off pieces for prestigious projects while maintaining strict quality control. Recent commissions include solid brass handles for Cambridge Mosque and dramatic entrance pulls for Lavo.
Stainless Steel Products
T316 stainless steel components offer superior durability in demanding environments. We provide antimicrobial options for healthcare facilities and marine-grade fittings for coastal properties. All products undergo rigorous testing to ensure 25-year performance in high-use settings like airports and hospitals.
