FAQ: does aluminium rust at the coast? Not exactly, aluminium doesn't rust the way steel does, but it can corrode if the spec's been cut somewhere along the way.

Three things that actually make the difference. A proper marine-grade powder coat is the first line of defence against salt air, skip it and the surface starts pitting within a couple of seasons. The grade matters too, 6063-T6 architectural aluminium is what should be going into coastal jobs, not a cheaper alternative that costs less up front and more later. And a simple hose-down every few weeks clears the salt residue before it does any damage, the same idea as rinsing your car after a beach day.

Get those three right and coastal aluminium holds up for decades. Skip them and you're looking at a much shorter lifespan.

Not sure what your project needs? That's what we're here for.

Skylight repair, Cape Town. Cracked pane replaced with laminated safety glass.

Overhead glazing gets laminated as standard here, not toughened. If a skylight ever breaks, you want the pieces held together by the interlayer rather than coming down on whoever's underneath. Same logic as a windscreen.

The shot looking straight up through it from inside is honestly the best angle on this one. Natural light doing exactly what it's meant to.

Planning a reno? Ask us early. It's a cheaper decision now than after the fact.

Same doors, same frames. We took out what was in the middle of them.

The dividing mullions were original, and they were doing what glazing bars do: chopping the view into pieces and making the room read smaller than it is.

So the bars came out and a single full pane of safety glass went in. New beading to suit, because the old beading was cut for the divided panes and won’t hold a single sheet properly.

Worth saying: the frames are untouched. You keep the timber and keep the proportions. You just stop looking at the garden through lattice.

Safely glass isn’t optional on a change like this, either. One big pane at door height takes a lot more impact than six small ones did.

Worth thinking about early if you're planning a staircase: the balustrade decides how big the room feels.

A solid balustrade does the safety job perfectly well. It also cuts the space in half visually and blocks whatever light was coming down the stairwell, which matters a lot in an open-plan ground floor where the stairs sit in the middle of everything.

Glass does the same job and keeps the sightline. This one is side-mounted toughened glass fixed into the stringer, so there's no top rail and no posts breaking up the run. The LED strip under the treads only reads the way it does because there's nothing standing in front of it.

One part of this isn't a style decision. Toughened glass is not optional on a balustrade. It is a barrier holding people back, often at height, so the glass has to be rated for it and so do the fixings. If anyone quotes you standard float glass for a balustrade, that is the moment to ask questions.

If you're at the stage of choosing a staircase, this is a cheaper decision to make now than to revisit later.

FAQ — how do you look after frameless glass?

The good news: not much. Three small habits keep it looking like the day it went in.

Rinse the glass after each shower — a quick spray-down washes off the soap and body wash residue before it has a chance to bond to the surface. Squeegee it once a week. Thirty seconds and you've prevented the water-spotting and mineral build-up that ages frameless glass badly.

And steer clear of bleach, ammonia, and abrasive scrubbers. Harsh chemicals damage the protective coating some frameless panels have, and abrasive pads scratch the glass. Warm water with a bit of white vinegar handles ninety per cent of what most bathrooms need.

That's it. No specialist products, no complicated routine — just a quick rinse and a squeegee and it'll outlast most bathroom fittings around it.

Another angle of the arched mirror we installed in Langebaan with Bay Jay Construction. The warm LED behind it is what makes the glazed tile detail read the way it does — mirrors like this always look better in the room they were designed for than they do in a workshop.
Three mirror jobs finished recently, from three very different rooms.

Silver mirrors fitted to sliding cupboard doors for a private client — floor to ceiling, so the mirror does the double job of hiding the storage and doubling the sense of space in the room.

And a warm-white LED floating mirror in Green Point. Custom size, custom brackets, backlit so it sits proud of the wall.

Three different jobs, one thing in common — a mirror is only as good as what's around it. Getting the size, the lighting, and the placement right is where the difference is.
