Trade Resources
Reference material for the people who order and fit our kits — installers, shopfitters, glaziers, main contractors and reactive maintenance firms. Specify with confidence and get the kit right first time.
Aluminium Fabrication Glossary →
Plain-English definitions of the terms a trade buyer meets when specifying and ordering aluminium — systems and profiles, performance standards (PAS 24, Part L, BS 6375, EN 13830), glazing, fabrication and hardware.
How Supply-Only Trade Fabrication Works →
The canonical explainer of our model: what supply-only and trade-only mean, the enquiry-to-delivery workflow, exactly where the fabricator stops and the installer starts, and why never installing keeps us neutral to our trade buyers.
What Drives Curtain Walling Cost →
A trade buyer's guide to how aluminium curtain walling is priced — the cost drivers (glass spec, grid density, finish, access, programme), stick vs unitised, and what we need for an accurate quote. A decision framework, not a price list.
Aluminium Door Thresholds & Level-Access →
Specifying door thresholds to Document M: the threshold options, weather-performance vs level-access trade-offs, the survey datum, and getting the right threshold across commercial, shopfront and entrance doors first time.
Replacement Survey Checklist →
What to capture on site before ordering a replacement aluminium door, window or shopfront — so the kit fits first time without a return trip.
