Boundary Metal offers one of the most comprehensive design and architectural metalwork services in the United Kingdom. Our reputation for quality and reliability has resulted in supply and fix contracts throughout the UK and Europe.

It is our aim, with this publication, to showcase some of the many abilities we have in the world of architectural metalwork, including our own metal mesh cladding patented product line CableScreen®.

Our services range from initial design and manufacture right through to installation, which are all backed up by efficient project management.

Our drawing office is available to develop designs with customers and is backed up by the expertise of our draughtsmen who are highly experienced in architectural metalwork and industrial engineering.

We provide an efficient project management service with the capability of running limitless associated trades, which is the key to our flexibility. We are as happy to supply simple mild steel sections, as we are to manage a sub-contract package involving a variety of materials such as, timber, polycarbonate, glass, and stainless steel.

Boundary Metal is both versatile and experienced with the ability to meet virtually any metalwork requirement, no matter how complex.

Concepts can be developed, with all number of permutations at the drawing and design stages. This allows cost effective solutions to individual applications to be designed to meet specific requirements.

hands down on price and quality. CableScreen® is a simple solution that overcomes many of today's design challenges. The system does away with bulky supports and complex tensioning devices, replacing these with frameless metal panels suspended on vertical cables. Manufactured in perforated plate or woven wire mesh, the panels line up for a clean, minimal look, made all the more striking when light reflects off their surface.

We have a number of glass suppliers from whom we obtain supply and fix of laminated and toughened glass. The combination of both their knowledge and our experience is especially important

tensile membrane structures, yacht wires and signage features

as a dynamic architectural metalwork engineering company we have always aimed to explore new products, manufacturing methods and systems to satisfy the complete needs of contemporary design. Synthetic fabric such as PTFE is an exciting product which enables us to create forms that would be unaffordable using more conventional products. Other advantages of tensile fabric structures include low maintenance, integral colour (rather than applied finishes) and light transmission.

We treat all contracts with the same respect. Plant room metalwork, access walkways, open grid decking, fire escape staircases, gantries and rooftop maintenance barriers regularly form part of our architectural metalwork subcontract packages.

Boundary Design Engineering offers a complete product engineering design consultancy service. Through steady growth and expansion since 1990, we have extended our range of expertise and technical ability enabling us to provide a full range of related services to clients within any industry.

Boundary Design Engineering's multi-disciplinary design service involves us at all stages of the project design cycle from concept tender proposals, through the detailed design phase to supervision and design checking.

at Boundary Design Engineering we work closely with you to understand your requirements and to develop a design concept through to reality. We use the latest autodesk Inventor 3D parametric design software for design and development.

3D virtual prototyping enables us to give you a clear vision of the finished product at an early stage in the design process, minimising delays and costly errors and omissions.

We provide analytical design services, including full engineering justification for the developed design, provide engineering reports and undertake stress analysis using Finite Element analysis (FEa).

Boundary Design Engineering offers a site surveying service to complement our design and draughting service.
