Not all gates are created equal. At FABCOM, we believe a quality gate starts long before it's installed at your property. It begins with skilled craftsmanship, carefully selected materials and an attention to detail that makes all the difference.
Unlike mass-produced gates imported from overseas, our steel frame composite gates are individually handcrafted and made to measure. Every gate is built around the customer's requirements, combining the strength of steel with the attractive, low-maintenance finish of composite boards.
It's an approach that allows us to take pride in every stage of the process, from the first cut of steel to the final installation.
It All Starts with a Strong Foundation
The strength of any great gate lies in its frame.
We begin with full-length steel box section, carefully measuring and cutting each piece to the precise dimensions required for the project. Rather than adapting a standard-sized product to fit your property, we manufacture the frame specifically for you.
Lock openings are carefully prepared, and the necessary hinges and fixing components are positioned and welded as part of the fabrication process.
Every measurement, cut and weld is completed with strength, durability and a precise fit in mind.
Designed with the Details in Mind
One of the things that sets our gates apart is the attention we give to the finishing details.
We fabricate our own integrated composite board housing, creating a neat, seamless appearance without the distraction of visible bolts or screws across the finished face of the gate.
It's a relatively small detail, but one that makes a noticeable difference to the overall appearance.
The result is a gate that looks as carefully considered as it is constructed.
Protection That Goes Beneath the Surface
Of course, a gate needs to do more than look good. It also needs to withstand the British weather, year after year.
Once fabrication is complete, our steel frames are sent for galvanising. This process applies a protective zinc coating that helps guard the steel against rust and corrosion.
When the frames return to our workshop, they're carefully cleaned and deburred in preparation for the next stage.
We then apply a powder-coated finish, providing another protective layer alongside an attractive, durable appearance.
Together, these processes help protect the steel frame against the elements, reducing maintenance requirements and supporting the gate's long-term performance.
The Finishing Touch – Your Choice of Composite Boards
With the steel frame complete, attention turns to the part of the gate that brings your chosen design to life.
Our composite boards are fitted during the final installation stage, allowing each gate to be finished in accordance with the customer's preferred colour and style.
There's another practical advantage to this approach.
Should a board become damaged, or you decide you'd like a different appearance in the future, the boards can be removed and replaced without replacing the entire steel gate frame.
It's a simple but valuable benefit that gives your gate greater flexibility over its lifetime.
