Who is Architectural Bronze

Architectural Bronze is a family-owned and run business, making and selling a unique range of products to discerning clients for over twenty-five years. Architectural Bronze is sister company to leading garden room designers and manufacturers Vale Garden Houses who have been operating over forty years.

We share a passion for uniqueness and creativity, striving to provide our clients with the finest handmade products and client experience. Our two companies share knowledge, expertise and experience in finding bespoke and innovative solutions for even the most unusual situations or requirements.

We work with leading architects in the UK and around the world and are widely recognised for our bespoke manufacturing and attention to detail. Working with you, we can tailor designs to suit your very specific requirements, regardless of how large or small your project may be.

How We Began

Vale were approached to design a glass house to stand in the grounds of an 17th century manor house. Following futile searches to find a delicate slim profile metal window for incorporating into the design, a solution presented itself following a visit to a castle that had beautifully aged, centuries old bronze windows. With our strong engineering background and experience in the design of extrusions, the decision was taken to design our own bronze windows.

It was the slim design combined with this beautiful metal that caught the interest of Heritage consultants and architects who were keen to utilise products and materials that were expertly constructed and would provide outstanding durability. Early projects include Freston Tower for the Landmark Trust, an interesting building that was undergoing extensive, sympathetic renovation.

Operations Today

The company has come a long way since the early years and now employs around 60 highly skilled and dedicated members of staff in both offices and production.

Our products are sold around the world – having recently supplied to two leading universities in Sydney, Australia. Other destinations include the USA, Bermuda and extensively across Europe working on some beautiful projects.

In the UK we have been involved with many of the leading universities in Oxford and Cambridge, along with projects for some very high-profile clients. We have a great team spirit and always share the excitement when something notable, unusual or groundbreaking goes into production.

Our Manufacturing

Every window and door is crafted in our Lincolnshire factory using traditional methods and highly skilled craftsmanship. From start to finish, we ensure exceptional quality, authenticity, and attention to detail – proudly supporting British industry.
