For conservation areas, we replicate historic designs using thin glazing bars or duplex spacer bars to maintain aesthetic authenticity.

Shop Fronts
We produce shop fronts for diverse businesses, including sliding, folding, and standard designs. Materials range from softwood to hardwood, ensuring durability and visual appeal for cafes, retail stores, and commercial spaces.
Security Upgrades
We enhance property safety by upgrading vulnerable doors with BS3621:2004 compliant locks, security bolts, and window restrictors. Our solutions balance functionality with insurance-approved standards to protect residential and commercial premises.
