Bespoke Aluminium Frame for a Stylised Glass Panel

 

THE CLIENT: An Internal Glass Specialist

 

THE BRIEF:

To create an aluminium bathroom door frame to fit a pre-cut piece of glass and the door opening.

OUR SOLUTION:

We love a challenge and decided that the best option for achieving the specific dimensions was to start with a solid aluminium bar. We cut exacting channels, with tight tolerances, into this bar to achieve the defined measurements.

THE CHALLENGE:

Salesmade Ltd has created many bespoke aluminium frames for customers, but this was a first. Our usual approach is to begin with the exact measurements of the door opening. This would inform our extrusion and fabrication process for creating a frame to fit. The final stage would be to order and then fit the glass section. This customer had received a recommendation that we could help him out. He arrived with a beautiful pre-cut sheet of glass, which had been finished with a stylised design. Coupled with the measurements of the opening, he asked if we could create a frame to fit.

THE OUTCOME:

This method was a success and resulted in a precision finish that holds the glass in the correct position within the opening.
