Services
Unitised Curtainwall Systems
We design and fabricate unitised curtainwall systems for commercial buildings, combining structural integrity with aesthetic precision. Our solutions reduce on-site installation time while meeting thermal and acoustic performance standards. Each system undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure compliance with architectural specifications.
Anti Ballistic Glazing
Our anti-ballistic glazing provides security for high-risk environments, offering protection against forced entry and ballistic threats. Constructed with layered laminates, these systems maintain transparency while meeting international safety certifications. Ideal for banks, embassies, and secure facilities.
Structural Silicone Glazing
We apply structural silicone glazing techniques to create seamless glass facades, eliminating visible frames for modern architectural designs. This method enhances weather resistance and load distribution, suitable for skyscrapers and landmark buildings requiring both durability and visual appeal.
Fire Door Maintenance
Our fire door and screens maintenance ensures compliance with safety regulations through regular inspections and repairs. We service timber and steel fire-resisting doors, preserving their integrity to prevent fire spread while maintaining operational functionality.
Aluminium System Fabrication
We fabricate custom aluminium glazing systems for windows, doors, and facades, utilising CNC machining for precision. Our expertise covers standard and bespoke profiles, supporting projects with complex geometries while adhering to European manufacturing standards.
