Custom Metal Details
The parts nobody stocks.
Profiles, trims, inlays and one-off components drawn specifically for one project and made nowhere else.
A great deal of what we make is not a product at all. It is a twelve-millimetre brass profile in a specific finish, six metres of it, to a section that does not exist in any catalogue. Or an inlay strip that has to sit flush in stone. Or a trim that resolves an awkward junction between two materials.
These are the pieces that decide whether an interior looks resolved or improvised, and they are usually specified late, needed quickly and required in small quantities — which is exactly the work most suppliers decline.
We take it. V-grooving and press-brake forming let us produce custom sections economically in short runs, and because the finishing happens here, the trim matches the cladding it sits against.
The detail nobody names
An inlay strip where stone meets timber, a shadow gap that makes a wall appear to float, a brass edge that finishes a step — these are the pieces that decide whether an interior looks resolved, and the ones no drawing package describes fully. They are drawn as sections at full size, made as samples, and fitted by people who understand what the stone and the joinery on either side of them are going to do.
The common failure is a profile chosen from a catalogue and made to fit; the right one is drawn for the junction it is finishing, once, and then made to that drawing for the whole project so every junction reads the same.

Questions & answers
Questions about custom metal details
What is an inlay strip actually for?
To finish the line where two materials meet — stone and timber, timber and carpet, one stone and another — with something that is straight, level and intended, instead of a joint. It also takes the movement and the small mismatch in height between the two, which is why it is drawn as a section for that exact junction rather than picked from a catalogue.
Can a profile be matched to one that already exists?
Usually. A sample of the existing profile — or a good section drawing — is measured and the new one made to it, in the same metal and finish. Where the original was a standard section that no longer exists, it is remade from the measurement. The finish is the part most likely to differ, and a sample beside the original settles that.
