The Foundry

British Spirals & Castings is extremely proud to operate its own non-ferrous foundry in Stoke-on-Trent, which, over the past 50 years, has earned an excellent reputation for producing high-quality and reliable aluminium castings. This expertise is recognised not only in our own industry but also within the automotive, aerospace, engineering, and pottery sectors. Every staircase and balcony we create starts its journey at this foundry, where our skilled moulders use their years of experience to craft precision castings that ensure the highest quality for every product.

We hold patterns for all our staircase and balcony components, but with our in-house pattern-making facility, we can also produce castings to new designs and specifications, offering complete flexibility to meet individual requirements.

Our foundry also specialises in small production runs and prototypes, offering quick turnaround times while maintaining meticulous attention to detail. We can take prototypes from initial drawings, through pattern making, to final production, working to a timescale that suits each customer. Alternatively, we are happy to cast from customers’ existing patterns.

By continuing to use traditional greensand casting methods, along with die casting and air set techniques, we remain completely flexible in producing moulds from loose or boarded patterns, with single or multiple impressions.

All of our aluminium castings are produced in British Standard alloys, including LM21 BS1490, LM25 BS1490, and LM27 BS1490, meeting the highest British manufacturing standards. Even our alloy ingots are supplied by British smelters.
