Fabrication

We offer a bespoke curving & fabrication service for flooring profiles and stair nosings.

A custom template in hardboard or similar rigid material is used to form the profile into the correct shape for easy and fast onsite fitting. Our team of specialist fabricators can curve or create the perfect profile to fit the shape and dimensions you are looking for.
