At AMS we pride ourselves in the production of quality fabricated pressings, ensuring customers’ needs and delivery times are at the forefront of operation.

Types of products and services AMS offer:

• Pressed aluminium cills:

Pressed aluminium cills are the first line of defence on most building projects against water ingress and weather tightness. At AMS we pride ourselves in the production of high quality, accurate cills. These are also offered with welded corners, end caps, straps, joint plates to detailed project specifications.

• Insulated glazing panels:

The standard sizes for insulated glazing panels are 24mm and 28mm. Other sizes can be catered for and are subject to availability.

• Window flashings:

Window flashings include cill, head and cill flashings including various degrees of bends, folds and welds. It is also possible for these types of pressings to be insulated.

• Head cappings:

We can fabricate head cappings up to 4mts long. They also come with joint plates and fixing clips for ease of installation as well as improved weather tightness.

These are just some of the examples of what we do at AMS. With our on-site state-of-the-art powder coating facilities we can offer a very fast turnaround to meet our customers’ needs.
