THE BENEFITS OF CUSTOM MADE SYMONS METAL FRAMES. FIRE-RESISTANT/BURGLARY-RESISTANT OR RADIATION-SHIELDING.

In construction and renovation projects is the choice of the right frame essential for finish, stability and safety. Standard solutions do not always meet the specific requirements of a project. Custom made Symons metal frames offer a smart and durable solution.

In this blog you will discover why custom metal frames are a valuable investment.

PERFECT FIT FOR EVERY PROJECT

No one opening is identical. Custom made Symons metal frames are precisely tailored to the dimensions and specifications of your project.

  • No on-site modifications required, which saves time and costs
  • Clean and precise finish, even for non-standard door sizes or wall thicknesses
  • Reduced risk of installation errors as the frame fits correctly from the start

INCREASED FIRE RESISTANCE AND SAFETY

Symons metal frames are designed to meet the strictest fire safety standards. A custom made frame fits perfectly and avoids weak points that could reduce fire performance.

  • Optimal integration with fire-rated doors, which minimises the spread of smoke and fire
  • Possibility to integrate additional fire-resistant strips or insulation, depending on building requirements
  • Durable protection, that maintains fire resistance over time

DURABILITY AND EASE OF MAINTENANCE

Metal frames have a much longer service life and are less prone to damage than timber or plastic alternatives. Symons uses high-quality steel which ensures that frames are:

  • Resistant to moisture and temperature changes
  • Easy to clean and maintain
  • Suitable for intensive use in schools, hospitals, offices and similar environments

FLEXIBLE FINISHING AND DESIGN OPTIONS

With custom made Symons metal frames you have full control over appearance.

  • Different frame types including standard views, special views, raised head sections, side panels and top panels continuous trims
  • Option for additional reinforcements depending on technical requirements such as for door closers

TIME SAVING INSTALLATION

Because the frames are custom made, installation is faster and more efficient.

  • No time lost due to on-site adjustments
  • Simple installation, as all fixing points and cut-outs are prepared in advance
  • Reduced risk of installation issues, which leads to smoother project delivery

SUITABLE FOR A WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS

  • Residential construction: Durable modern frames for houses and apartments.
