Building Regs and Test Certs

Building Regulations and Test Certification.

With any project the importance of safety has to be at the forefront of our minds when considering the most suitable balustrade system. With this mentality we work closely with our clients, providing advice on loading and dimensional specifications in line with The Building Regulations K2 Document.

Our systems have been rigorously tested to BS 6180 and have been fully approved for residential and commercial projects.
