Technical Expertise

Glazing & Safety Standards

Safety is non-negotiable. All our installations in Canterbury strictly adhere to BS EN 12600 for impact safety. We specialize in Concealed Transom Closers and Toughened Safety Glass (BS EN 12600). For high-risk areas, we install laminated glass which holds together even when shattered, maintaining the security of your premises until a full replacement can be fitted.

Aluminium Systems Expertise

Aluminium is the material of choice for modern commercial entrances in Canterbury due to its strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. We utilize Laminated Security Glass to ensure thermal efficiency, reducing your energy bills. Our profiles can be finished in any standard RAL colour using durable Curtain Walling Systems, ensuring your brand identity is perfectly matched and weather-resistant for years to come.

⚠️ Regulatory Compliance in Canterbury

Commercial entrances must meet strict UK regulations. We ensure your doors comply with the Equality Act 2010 (DDA Compliance), providing clear opening widths and low-threshold access for wheelchair users. Furthermore, all our powered doors meet BS EN 16005 safety standards, utilizing safety sensors to prevent impact injuries.
