Wide, dead-straight-on shot of a five-bay steel screen with central double doors and a top light in a bare plaster room, raking morning side light picking out the 25 mm sightlines and the shadow gaps at the mullions.

How the steelwork opens and where it stays fixed: single, double, or between welded side screens.

The whole configurations square on and filling the frame, in the single door configuration, shot level in flat overcast light against a plain wall so the proportion and the frame-to-glass ratio can be read without perspective. Unit at 1100 x 2600 mm.
3:4
Close detail of the meeting line at eye level in raking light, tight enough that the joint and the seal are legible and the 25 mm sightline can be measured off the frame, with the background thrown out of focus.
1:1
The hand-level detail: 100 mm butt hinges photographed in use on the ral matt finish, close enough to show the surface texture and the fixing, with a hand on the handle for scale.
4:3
From inside the room looking out through the configurations, the unit open where it opens, late afternoon light on the floor, so the product is seen the way it is lived with rather than the way it is sold.
16:9
The configurations at dusk from outside, closed, the room lit behind the glass, so the finish and the glass line read against the light.

Specifications & options
Configurations
Description
Configurations are settled first because they fix the steelwork. Sharp draws the frame as one welded assembly to 3000 x 3000 mm, or split on a line you agree for access. Internal leaves run to 1100 x 2600 mm on a 25 mm sightline, up to four to a set. Doors hang single, double, or in pairs flanked by side screens. Arched heads are rolled to a 600 mm minimum radius, not faked from straight segments. External openings use 70 mm thermally broken sections and heavier hinges.
Specify it when
Choose this first on any opening that is not a plain rectangle with one door in it: wide screens, arched heads, double doors with top lights, or a run that turns a corner.

1:1More in bespoke
Tight angled shot straight through two adjacent panes in one steel screen, clear on the left and reeded on the right, with a hand held flat behind the glass so the difference in distortion reads at a glance.

Glass
Macro of one welded frame corner on grey concrete where the matt black powder coat has been ground back through to the galvanising, the bright zinc spangle sitting hard against the RAL 9005 either side of the cut.
4:3
Finishes
Hip-height detail of a monkey-tail handle and mortice escutcheon on a closed steel leaf, shallow depth of field, a thumb resting on the lever so the scale and the wear on the aged brass both read.
4:3
Hardware
Over-the-shoulder view of a specifier's desk: an A1 section drawing weighted flat at one corner, a laptop open on the same detail in DWG, and a 200 mm offcut of thermally broken steel section holding down the other edge of the sheet.
