Architecural Services

From experience, wire ballustrading is the last item fitted to most building projects. However, we have found that early participation by ourselves during design and build, generally reduces the overall costs, without detracting from the architects’ original concept.

We can roll swage end terminals onto wires up to 16mm dia. This generally will accommodate loadings of up to 25 tonne. With a large selection of end fittings for either aesthetic looks or functionality, we can provide a system to suit.

MRS also supply stainless steel rod ties with various end terminals, mostly with fork ends for tensioned applications.

In conjunction with several fabricators, we are able to offer, stainless steel handrail assemblies and other custom made bracketry.
