Our Manufacturing

At Architectural Bronze, we are proud to be part of Made in Britain where we can shout about our bespoke traditional British manufacturing. Our entire operation is based in Lincolnshire where we produce a unique and stylish range of bronze products that are supplied worldwide.

Every single one of our products is thoughtfully designed, crafted and carefully assembled in our manufacturing facility by a dedicated team of craftsmen who have perfected their skills to meet ours and our clients exacting standards.

Why In-house Matters

Keeping every process in-house gives us full control at every stage. Each product goes through a meticulously managed process using exceptional materials and a combination of exacting CNC technology and traditional hand finishing. From the initial fabrication to delivery to site, we carry out strict quality checks at every stage to ensure the resulting products are nothing short of exceptional.

Our truly bespoke service guarantees consistency, reliability and attention to detail across every product, which also allows us to be more agile and responsive to our client’s specific needs.

Welding and Curved Work

Components are cut and machined on the latest CNC equipment, then each joint hand soldered guaranteeing millimetre precision and dimensional accuracy.

For arched doors and windows and any curved work within a glazing design, we have our own bending machinery which we use in conjunction with our Proliner templating equipment at point of survey. Most shapes can be achieved although certain sections do have limitations on tight curves.

Ironmongery and Security

We offer a wide choice of decorative hardware for our windows. These include a choice of handles, backplates and stays which can include additional security features if required. Whilst windows are generally side opening, we provide solutions for top opening and hopper windows and bespoke ironmongery on sensitive projects.

For our doors, we offer a range of Croft hardware for handles to personalise your project, and also provide a range of functional and operational options and additional security measures.

Glass

We have had our own glass department since 2001 which allows us to adopt a flexible approach when producing glazing for bronze casements and doors.

We can provide a comprehensive range of units from traditional leaded lights utilising handmade glass, to high performance double glazed units providing excellent thermal values.

We are also able to get involved in the restoration of antique leaded lights with our associated specialist on more sensitive restoration projects.

Timber Subframes

We are able to supply timber surrounds for our windows and have eight standard profiles available to suit the period and style of your project.

For a painted frame finish, we generally specify Douglas Fir or Sapele, depending on the colour chosen. We have a small range of dark colours designed to complement bronze, and other suitable colours can be found in our Period Paint Collection.

Clients preferring the look and durability of oak, we specify either Joinery Grade European Oak or Prime Oak, which will contain varying degrees of natural features such as knots and shakes within its clear sections which many consider an attractive feature of this timber.
