Here are more samples of metalwork in the Home. Architectural Metalwork is not only confined to the Shopping Centres and Office Blocks.

Here we used 25 diameter satin polished stainless steel rods with machines ends and a stainless steel collar to cover the holes we had to drill in the timber work.

This is a stainless steel bridge linking to a bedroom. We used toughened and laminated glass in both the floor and the balustrades.  It  is both functional and decorative.

This is a Stainless steel staircase with glass treads and stainless steel and glass balustrade. This stairs actually covered 3 floors nad the view from the top landing is fabulous and the glass treads  really allows light to pass through.

Again as I always say, a little planning for your metalwork at an early stage can give brilliant results.

We have just completed a project here in Kilkenny City, The Left Bank Pub on the Parade which required Brass Balustrades and bottle racks to the back bar and copper clad counters.

It’s nice to get into some really high level polishing and see it come to life. The counters were formed in wood firstly by thr joiner and we then pressed the copper sheets to form the decrotive edge detail and the counter surfaces.

The Back bar was fitted with Brass shelf support frames fitted to the walls and glass shelves to maintain a good level of light throughout.

The staircase handrails and balustrades are a mixture of fabricated rail sections and glass panels. Once completed the Brass fits in very nicely with the overall theme of The Left Bank Pub.

Well done again to our Lads involved. The attention to detail is of most importance to us and this will stand the test of time and get us through this period of doom and gloom. The level of interest and pride in the job is evident in all of our projects and nothing is a problem. Well done again……………………….

We have just completed our work for the new boardwalk on the River Shannon in Limerick City beside St. John’s Castle. It’s truly a beautiful and historical area there and I would not have realised it’s significance before.

However, we were contracted by the main contractor Carillion to manufacture and install all the Stainless Steel elements of the railing along the boardwalk. We had to design feature posts with stainless steel tension cables which terminate inside the posts and so reducing the risk of outside interference. We also had to fabricate the continuous handrail section which was then encased in timber. It has got to be the biggest size handrail we have been involved in by far. The handrail section posed a serious challenge due to it’s size and the fact that it was tilted at an angle and curved. The section could not be rolled so we manufactured it from 4 plates which were profiled and pressed into shape. All worked out pretty good even if I do say so myself.

Well done to all our guys involved on this project. It’s nice to see it completed and ready for use.

We have completed a couple of projects in the recent past which involved protection rails or dado rails to external sheeting and also internal dado rails or trolley protection rails. These we manufactured from flat sheets of stainless steel and we perforated them and then pressed them to create a strong panel and the perforations give it a more architectural look. Simple but effective. These rails can easily be replaced if damaged, unlike the architectural panel they’re protecting.

Because the panels are made from flat sheets and not tubes the size and shape can be site specific and even the perforations can be different. Company logos can also be applied.
