Services
Unitised Curtainwall Systems
We design and manufacture precision-engineered unitised curtainwall systems for commercial buildings. Our off-site fabrication ensures quality control and faster installation. Systems integrate with structural silicone bonding for enhanced durability and aesthetic continuity.
Anti Ballistic Glazing
Our anti ballistic glazing solutions provide security for high-risk environments. Using layered laminated glass and polycarbonate, these systems resist various threat levels while maintaining optical clarity and structural integrity.
Structural Silicone Glazing
We apply structural silicone glazing techniques for frameless glass installations. This method creates seamless faades with enhanced load-bearing capacity, ideal for modern architectural designs requiring both strength and visual appeal.
Fire Door Maintenance
We provide inspection and maintenance for fire-resisting doors and screens. Our services ensure compliance with safety regulations through regular checks of hardware, seals, and overall system integrity.
Timber Fire Doors
Our timber fire doors combine aesthetic appeal with critical safety functions. Engineered to meet specific fire ratings, these doors integrate seamlessly into modern buildings while providing essential compartmentalisation during emergencies.
