D R Services specialises in the design, supply and installation of frameless glass systems and fittings and has produced a new CD which details its services.
D R Services stocks a comprehensive selection of patch fittings, point fittings, handles, hinges and other items of architectural ironmongery and offers specifiers a design capability based on many years of experience.
Amongst the many high profile businesses to have benefited from the firm's services are Armani in Paris, Racing Green at the Bluewaters retail centre, Jigsaw and the Masala Zone restaurants seen around London's West End.
The size of individual installations is only limited by the proportions of the standard dimensions in which toughened or laminated glass are produced: 6.0 x 3.2 metres, otherwise known as a Jumbo.
Such is the standard of the engineering exhibited and the resistance to corrosion of the metal components that all D R Services frameless shopfronts achieve very good weathering characteristics while offering a long, low maintenance life.
Technical Director Julie Jarvis, comments: "We use the minimum amount of high grade stainless steel or aluminium exactly where it is needed to do the job required.
We offer a complete survey, fabrication and installation service which our competitors struggle to match on quality or price and have worked for some of the biggest names in the retail and leisure sectors." A new guide to the company's products is available.
