Specialised Cut to Size Metal for the education sector
Our metal products have been instrumental across various educational settings, aiding contractors in the creation of specialised structures and equipment.
We are honoured to contribute to the educational realm, ensuring our materials support the construction of superior learning environments for students. Our collaboration with universities has seen our metals become integral to the development of cutting-edge facilities and devices.
Metals for educational use
We consider the following metals to be vital for applications in the educational sector:
Aluminium
A top choice for educational construction, aluminium is widely used for staircases, door and window framing, and external cladding. Its popularity stems from its robustness, lightness, and corrosion resistance.
Stainless Steel
Stainless Steel stands out in academic building due to its formidable tensile strength, longevity, and resistance to corrosion. It's cost-effective and easily sanitised, making it perfect for specialised educational equipment.
