HERITAGE MEETS MODERN CRAFTSMANSHIP

We're incredibly proud to share our latest project - a stunning frameless glass balustrade installation at the historic Summerseat Railway Goods Shed!

Project Highlights:
🔹 Grade II listed building from 1847
🔹 21.5mm toughened laminated glass panels
🔹 Sleek stainless steel handrails
🔹 Preserving Victorian hand-cranked crane views
🔹 Perfect blend of safety and heritage

This remarkable building beside the East Lancashire Railway presented us with a unique challenge - creating modern safety solutions whilst respecting nearly two centuries of architectural heritage.

The result? A clean, contemporary installation that enhances rather than compromises this piece of railway history.

Our frameless design preserves sightlines to showcase the original Victorian engineering whilst meeting all contemporary building standards.

It's projects like this that demonstrate why heritage expertise matters in steel fabrication!

Working on listed buildings requires more than technical skill - it demands understanding, sensitivity, and the ability to balance modern requirements with historic preservation.
