Copper Alloys Ltd has worked with architects for years, assisting them in choosing the best structural alloys for the job. Factors - such as environmental corrosion, methods of assembly and construction, and section shape - need to be considered to ensure that the installation does not look prematurely dated or start to degrade (if that would not be beneficial).

Working with Copper Alloys Ltd, contractors and architects can ensure that they are not left embarrassed by rusty handrail or generic balustrading, but go into the project with a complete understanding of the full range of shapes, sizes, colours, tints and patternation available.

Copper Alloys Ltd produces bronzes in a vast spectrum of colours and finishes.

There is a unique combination of benefits for engineers working with Copper Alloys Ltd and many ways we can add value to your supply chain including:

  • 100+ years of combined metallurgical and industrial knowledge within our technical team to help you select the correct material and maximise the mechanical properties for your application.
  • Eliminating manufacturing risk by allowing Copper Alloys Ltd to conduct the machining on fully machined components.
  • Customised service:
    • Long-term agreements - The ability to fix prices for a set period, to allow stability in purchasing and administration costs.
    • Dedicated stock - Copper Alloys Ltd is able to carry stock specific to our customers' needs, which helps eliminate supply problems due to rapidly changing demand requirements.
    • Delivery - We understand the importance of meeting our delivery commitments.
    • Scrap Recycling - Let Copper Alloys Ltd carry out your finish-machining to reduce risk and ensure that the full value of the swarf results in reduced cost to you.

The key difference is that Copper Alloys Ltd is small enough to care. The entire production and management teams take pride in their work and will go the extra mile to ensure that material or component supply is not what lets you down.

Working with prestigious organisations such as Balfour Beatty, Henry Boot, The Kier Group and Willmott Dixon, we have built up an understanding of the demands upon contractors to meet budgets, complete to schedule and achieve perfection.

We can help by working through production routes to identify the best combination of value and efficacy. Part of the service also includes subsequent processing such as bending, polishing, patternating, supplying fixtures and fittings and delivering to site.
