Well connected

If dramatic sweeps of glass are the face of much modern architecture, the connecting hardware can be seen as the jewellery that provides the finishing touch. With both functionality and aesthetics to consider, it makes sense to choose a specialist provider with the ability to custom manufacture hardware to order.

For over 25 years, NFK has had an integral involvement with the Australian glass industry. The company designs, manufactures and distributes architectural hardware for glass and is also the sole agent for upmarket European glass hardware brands Sadev, in France, and Colcom, in Italy.

CEO Hayden Kemp says NFK provides a personal, hands-on service for clients, creating spiders, point fixings and pivoting and sliding door hardware for a wide range of architectural applications.

"We work directly with designers, architects and specifiers to find solutions for their projects," says Kemp. "While NFK offers standard fittings, we also provide limited runs of custom elements partnering with specialist engineers to ensure all building code and engineering requirements are met.

"For further client peace of mind, our company also produces 3D prototypes prior to manufacturing."

In addition to the hardware, NFK supplies a variety of specialised glass processing tools for the industry.
