Services
Staircases
We design and fabricate bespoke staircases using materials like PVD-coated stainless steel, blackened steel, and laser-cut metal. Our solutions combine structural integrity with artistic design for residential, commercial, and public spaces. Each project is tailored to meet architectural specifications while ensuring durability and aesthetic appeal.
Cladding
Our cladding solutions enhance building exteriors and interiors with weather-resistant, visually striking finishes. Using materials like PVD-coated stainless steel, corten, and anodised aluminium, we create custom facades that improve energy efficiency and architectural impact while requiring minimal maintenance.
PVD Coating
We apply PVD coatings to stainless steel for durable, UV-resistant finishes in a spectrum of colours. This eco-friendly process produces scratch-resistant surfaces ideal for high-traffic areas, offering a cost-effective alternative to traditional materials like brass or bronze.
Architectural Mesh
Our architectural mesh solutions provide decorative and functional elements for interiors and exteriors. Made from PVD-coated stainless steel, these lightweight, corrosion-resistant meshes offer solar shading, privacy screening, and artistic design features for commercial and public buildings.
Canopies
We design and install custom canopies using durable metals like stainless steel and aluminium. These structures provide weather protection while enhancing architectural aesthetics, with options for powder coating, PVD finishes, and intricate laser-cut designs.
