Why shortlist National Shielding
A direct relationship.
A defined scope.
Choose to start with National Shielding when a direct relationship with the shielding company’s management is a priority. Discuss your room, the other trades involved and the testing needed for handover. Our installation, verification and maintenance services give you a practical scope to evaluate against a larger group’s proposal.[1][3][5]
Where Albatross Projects GPS fits
Give the alternative
a fair evaluation.
Albatross Projects has a wider chamber and test-environment portfolio. Its Americas GPS business carries the former Global Partners in Shielding identity. Buyers already specifying GPS systems should confirm the current contracting entity, product documentation and service contacts.[7][6]

Before you compare quotes
Get continuity and responsibility in writing.
If your drawings or previous room records name Global Partners in Shielding, ask the bidder to identify the current entity and the documents that apply. For a new project, compare both proposals on the same terms: assigned contacts, supplied components, installation, acceptance tests and ongoing support. A corporate change by itself does not demonstrate better or worse service.
- Which legal entity will contract, install, test and service the room?
- Do the current documents apply to the same system named in the original specification?
- Which warranty and service terms apply to the enclosure, door and filters separately?
