Shop Front

The glazing pocket lies in a central position in the frame and mullion in the 100mm suite and in an offset position in the 80mm suite. These suites can incorporate single or double glazing, opening sashes, and are compatible with Magnum commercial doors.

Compatible with most APL commercial window systems.
Frameless Channel Glazing
A sleek and modern architectural glazing system designed to create a seamless, unobstructed view. Characterised by aluminium channel providing fixity to the structure, glass is typically single glazed, though double glazing can be accommodated. Often integrated with glass or steel fins and spider fittings to provide wind load restraint for larger spans.
Overhead Glazing
Overhead glazing bars and roof windows for a range of commercial contexts and sizes, including a thermally broken option for roof windows. Structural glazed design with flush edges means design accommodates low pitches without pooling water.
Canopies
Whether for commercial, residential, or public spaces, our custom canopy designs offer both functionality and aesthetic appeal. We offer both framed and frameless canopy options. Bracketing details are engineered to merge seamlessly into the sleek canopy design.
Cladding
We offer a range of cladding materials to enhance building aesthetics and functionality, whether installed within unitised panels or fixed to a sub-structure direct to the building. Our rainscreen solutions include metal cladding, composite panels, terracotta tiles and others.
Metal Folding and Features
Our in-house design team and metal workshop ensures that just about any architectural vision can become a reality. Folded, profiled, punched or projecting rainscreen panels can be fitted into the window or curtain wall system. Sun shade fins or louvre features can follow the form of an extrusion, or be custom fabricated from plate.
