Here are some more pictures of a glass balustrade we applied to a timber stairs just recently. The stairs was beautifully manufactured and installed by the client and we fixed stainless steel machined glass brackets to which bolted the clear glass panels and then bolted the stainless steel handrail flat to.

The fabrication is simple but the attention to the detail as in the handrail and the machined brackets really makes it stand out from the crowd. As I say with a bit of design thought the results can be very satisfying indeed.

We completed an interesting project recently in Naas where our clients had a typical wooden staircase and wooden spindel type balustrade and decided they wanted to revamp and up grade the whole stairs and landing areas. We set about preparing our proposal and came up with what in my opinion works very well indeed. Basically we planted on grounds and brackets for glazing to the existing wooded stair string. This was finished in white, we then installed clear glass to these grounds by means of stainless steel machined dome head type bolts with gaskets and the nwe installed a stainless steel flat bar handrail which accomadates a timber handrail which will match the clients new stair treads. The results we very good and the whole job ties in very well with the surrounding decor now.

This type of design has made a huge difference to the Hall and Landing and it is the first element you see as you enter the fron door. It is a very cost effective method of getting glass in your lobby.

In the past few years we have been supplying many apartment blocks with feature metalwork. Thankfully our workshop and crew are very flexible and we are not soley dependant on the Construction Industry, however we would like this market to begin moving again, for everyone’s sake.

The products we have supplied are items like door threshold drainage like Draindeck to door canopies or balconies, gates, railings, balsutrades etc. Below are some photos of some of this work.

As you can see we cover all aspects of the metalwork packages including the sourcing and installation of the glass panels and finish colouring the mildsteel and galvanised items. Our site crews install to the highest safety requirements and their workmanship is world class and of course their attention to detail is what makes them special indeed. These are just a few images of the type of residential packages we have been involved in and I will post some more at a later stage. Don’t forget if you would like any information on what we can offer please don’t hesitate to call us.

Here are some images of some uses for glass where light is a necessary to the floor beneath. In the first example we placed a mildsteel frame which was lazer cut and so looked rather unique from underneath in the floor void and then placed the toughened and laminated glass into this frame.

In the second example our client required access into a room without the requirement of  a full floor area and so we manufactured and glass floored bridge complete with glass balustrade.

Both examples are very different but the requirements were similar. The use of glass in both results in magnificant metalwork pieces. Remember once some planning is done early anything is possible.

We are now polishing the welds on the Feature Canopy and trying to maintain a cool temperature in the material to avoid distortion. The heat generated by the constant polishing is intense and can do create as mush distortion as the welding process. We are avoiding this by staggering the polishing positions and because the piece is so large this is easily done.

I hope to have a further update later in the week.
