Bespoke Museum Grade Equipment - Bring Your Vision to Life

Bespoke solutions: Helping you bring your vision to life: Product Customisation and Bespoke Designs

We are honoured to have been trusted by institutions around the world to create the equipment used to display, protect and explain artworks and exhibits for over 30 years.

We have achieved that not only through our ready-to-order collection, but also by providing customised versions of our standard products, and by designing and manufacturing totally bespoke solutions.

Unintentionally, up until recently our custom and bespoke offering has been somewhat of an inside secret. Now though, we are endeavouring to ensure our clients across all sectors are aware of the breadth of options available to you, so that you can plan your exhibitions and interiors, cultural, commercial or domestic, knowing that our high-specification product solutions can be tailored to your specific needs and preferences.

1. Custom Options

Our standard product collections of Protective Barriers, Signage and Label Holders, and Art Hanging Systems can all be easily customised in a variety of ways. Here are some examples of the most frequent customisations we provide:

Powder coating to a RAL colour of choice

Almost all our products can be powder coated to a custom RAL colour. So, whether you need an art track finished in a colour to match your walls, or barriers and labels in a specific colour to compliment your exhibition, we are able to assist.

For example, black label holders are frequently requested for heritage properties, and bronze barriers are also popular in traditional settings.

Custom Barrier Heights

As standard we have barriers available to order in 400mm and 1000mm height options - a low-level height most popular for exhibitions, and a taller barrier most popular when the barrier also needs to assist with crowd control, in more congested areas. We are, however, able to produce barrier uprights of any desired height up to 1000mm. The most frequent custom height request we get is for a mid-height option, at around 600mm.

Custom Label Holder Sizes

We have a selection of standard label extrusion heights to choose from, and a selection of mounting/'foot' options, from which we can then produce any length of label holder desired, up to 2400mm.

Curved Track & Track Enhancements

In instances where wall surfaces are curved, we can roll our track to the radius of the wall. We also have ways we can enhance the track to meet extreme weight requirements, such as increasing the drill holes and supplying extended top blocks (please always contact us first if hanging particularly heavy artworks). We can offer tailored, expert advice on this to assist with your project.

2. Totally Bespoke Solutions

If your goal to display, protect or explain, but a custom version of our standard products is still not quite what you need, we are able to design and manufacture completely bespoke systems, as well.

As shown above, we are able to create rigid rail systems, curved systems, custom cord attachments and much more. You can find out more about our design and manufacturing process here.
