Membrane & lightweight Roofing - Often the detailed complexity of design involved in fabric architecture is disguised by its apparently simple free form. Architectural rigging fittings are designed to complement the aesthetics of these structures, enhancing a style of architecture that is becoming increasingly popular. Cable systems for guy, edge and flying mast applications are as functional as they are elegant, servicing the extreme loads involved in tensioning the structures.
Glazing - With today's emphasis in architecture focusing on the efficient use of energy and natural light, planar glazing is featuring more prominently in the design of many buildings. Similarly, wire rope and rod systems have proven invaluable, providing attractive and unobtrusive glazing support. Where maximum visibility is required for glass walls, facades, glazed roofs and atria, we have the solution.
Structural Braces & Trusses - Wire rope and rod systems are an efficient means of carrying tensile loads. Whether used to brace wall structures, complex truss roofs, or simply suspending canopies or architectural sculptures, the system of connections allows easy assembly and installation on site.
Balustrading - Where a bright modern balustrade is required the aesthetics of stainless steel cannot be overlooked. Used in both internal and external applications, the easily installed cable systems allow unimpaired views from balconies, walkways, staircases' and platforms, whilst providing that "nautical feel" that is embraced by architects worldwide.
Why Stainless Steel?
The need for materials with the characteristics of strength, corrosion resistance and long life has long been recognised in the field of marine rigging. Increasingly, modern architecture is looking for solutions, which offer the same characteristics.
The products we us are manufactured from the highest grades of corrosion resistant materials and utilise a carefully selected combination of compatible, but dissimilar, metals to minimise corrosion and thread seizure. The marine grade 316 and 304 stainless steels used extensively are highly corrosion resistant and eliminate the need for costly paint systems and long-term maintenance.
