Pressed aluminium cills are the first line of defence against water ingress and weather stresses.  We pride ourselves in the production of high quality, precision-engineered cills. Tailoring our offerings to detailed project specifications, we provide a range of enhancements such as welded corners, end caps, straps, and joint plates.

Standard sizes for insulated glazing panels include 24mm and 28mm, with flexibility for other sizes, subject to availability.

Window flashings:

Our window flashings encompass cill, head, and cill flashings featuring a variety of bends, folds, and welds. Additionally, we offer the option to insulate these pressings for enhanced thermal performance.

Head cappings:

We can fabricate these up to 4 metres long and provide joint plates and fixing clips for ease of installation and improved weather tightness.

These are just a few examples of our capabilities. We invite you to engage with us to explore how we can tailor solutions to meet your specific needs
