At Hitherbest, we work with customers across the construction and refurbishment sectors. We supply architectural fabrications for indoor and outdoor spaces in public and private buildings, including hotels, retail spaces, hospitals, offices, schools and universities. Powder-coated aluminium or steel is often used to build durable, attractive encasements that hide unsightly beams, pipework and cabling. It’s also the ideal material for flashings, cappings and copings, built to protect buildings from the worst of the British weather.
Why partner with Hitherbest?
Hitherbest has industry-leading equipment and decades of experience working with companies in the architectural sector. We offer production runs of standard-size encasements, as well as competitively priced made-to-measure bespoke items. Unlike many of our competitors, we can produce column casings up to 4m in length. These can be easily stacked together to create longer casings where needed. Our skilled team can manufacture casings with circular, semi-circular, square, rectangular or elliptical profiles, with or without access points, to suit your project. We can also manufacture attractive rings and collars as required.
Choose from a range of stylish finishes
We produce decorative encasements to your specifications, with a brushed, polished or powder-coated finish. The right choice depends on your colour preference and whether the fabrication is for indoor or outdoor use. Polyester powder coating gives a waterproof finish, so it’s often the finish of choice for outdoor casings, ductwork, coping, capping and liners. We also offer biocidal coatings for encasements destined for a healthcare, education or scientific setting. We can also emboss your logo or branding onto your encasements, so your work gets the recognition it deserves for years to come.
