RP Technik Steel Profile Systems

The Art of Architectural Conservation

At IDS, we are proud to be specialist fabricators of RP Technik Steel Profile Systems, a solution designed to balance heritage sensitivity with contemporary performance

Where light meets legacy and innovation honours history, RP Technik provides the vocabulary for architectural conservation — enabling projects that respect the past while embracing the future.

RP Technik was conceived through a close dialogue with architects, crafted specifically to address the nuanced challenges of working with historically significant and conservation-led projects.
