We are specialists in the design and installation of a range of metals used in creating the weatherproof envelope, including steel (stainless and galvanised), copper and zinc and have considerable experience of the differing finishes available with these metals.
Installation can be either traditional or the more modern long strip method employing up-to-date profiling machinery to give the crispness expected in contemporary design.
