Richard Salter Metal Fabrication creates custom designed metal fabrication solutions for architects, builders, developers, and owners of residential or commercial property.
More than just a metalwork expert, Richard Salter is an artisan and craftsman who collaborates with each client throughout a project to ensure the best creative vision is realised.
Large or small pieces, outdoors or indoors – whatever you’ve got in mind can be hand-crafted uniquely for you.
I DRAW INSPIRATION FROM the actual project site,
focusING on the environment and features.
I sketch out ideas that are a direct response
to what I see, crafting a design that reflects the site
and is in harmony with it.RICHARD SALTER
Drawing on a wide array of materials, tools, experience, and expertise, he will create something beautiful and uniquely meaningful for you and your property.
Richard works with a variety of metals including aluminium, stainless steel, mild steel (“wrought iron”), copper and more. He can advise on the characteristics of each metal, and which will be best suited to your project.
Projects can be created using a single metal, or a mix of materials for creative effect. Wood, stone and other elements can also be included .
The final coating is chosen to complement the design and be in harmony with the site where the work will be installed. The client may prefer a polished effect or a more natural, uncoated finish. Richard can advise on the benefits and artistic advantages of each finish.
Options include clear epoxy enamel, custom paint colours (colour-matching available), or, depending on the materials, the piece may simply be left to weather naturally in response to the environment.
Richard’s metalwork is built to endure the harsh Australian climate and uses materials that can last for a millennia in an outdoor environment.
“I like knowing that these pieces will outlive me.”

Experience the artistic vision of collaborating with an artisan and craftsman throughout the design, build and final installation of your project.
When a client already has their own design idea, Richard can collaborate and hone it for them. If a client has a specific photo or drawing of what they want, it can be recreated to suit – scaling the size larger or smaller
or adding custom tweaks or embellishments if desired.
Richard is available to consult on commercial and residential projects, and can provide expertise and advice on materials, design aspects, creative ideas and what’s possible for a particular site.
