The first thing clients and potential customers see when they walk in the building is the reception area. This is your opportunity is to make an amazing first impression. GA shows how you can use Aluminium Desk Fascias to make your business reception area shine!

You can carefully design your reception area to be functional, professional and stylish. Various design elements such as colour, materials, layout and branding can make a statement about the culture and values of your company. Ensure that your reception area creates the perfect impression by taking the time to thoroughly plan each detail of this important aspect of your office space.
When it comes to appearances, aluminium can certainly be finished in style with a number of different effects. Also, depending on the application, aluminium is often used in its natural state.
For many uses aluminium looks great in mill or anodised finish. There are occasions however when a colourful alternative may be required and that’s where GA’s ‘Spectra Bond’ powder coating (available in RAL colours) comes into its own.
Anodised aluminium provides an attractive matt metallic easy to maintain effect that will normally last for many years. The anodic film is extremely durable, corrosion resistant and light-fast. The anodising process interacts with the surface of the aluminium. For this reason it is important that a suitable aluminium alloy is selected, together with the surface finish being in good condition.

We offer two distinctly different design options of aluminium stair nosings / stair treads:
GA’s ‘Step-Up Stair Trims’ are aluminium stair nosings with separate press fit treads for ‘secret’ fixing.
Alternatively there is the ‘Economy’ range of aluminium stair nosings that incorporate the aluminium stair nosing and aluminium stair tread in one profile. Both of these aluminium stair nosing product ranges can be ordered online today for prompt dispatch.
Testimonial
‘Following the success of the aluminium stair trims on St. Davids 2 in Cardiff we have the possibility of another project involving your products.’
