It is funny how history tends to repeat itself. Back in the 1960's we were regularly manufacturing simple turned tapered legs for use on various pieces of furniture; and here we are now 50 years later doing the same thing again.

Ready-To-Use Stainless Steel Balustrade Posts
Read nowWe have recently added a range of ready-to-use stainless steel balustrade posts to accompany the other stainless steel balustrade fittings that we sell.
These posts are made from 316 stainless steel and are available in either a mirror or satin finish. There are also 2 types of posts available; one for flat (horizontal) balustrade and one for angled balustrade such as on a staircase. Within each type of post you can choose from 2 wall thicknesses; 1.6mm or 3.0mm. In most situations the 1.6mm will suffice, but the 3.0mm is handy for end posts when wire balustrade is being used.

Timber Bump Rail For Hospitals
Read nowA local hospital here in Adelaide was recently upgraded, and we were asked to quote on supplying a timber bump rail. We put in a price and won the job.
Manufactured from Victorian Ash, the rail finished 190mm wide by 30mm thick, and is attached to the walls of the hospital, so as to protect the plaster work from being chipped by patients hospital beds.
