How long do orders take to process?
All the items for rental are available from stock, as such we are able to despatch on the same day as the order if required, however for larger orders we do ask that more notice is given
Can I order a bespoke design?
Yes you can, but there is both a lead time and cost associated with this. Each request will require a different amount of work time and skill, please contact us for a quotation. It is worth noting we may have something similar to your requirements in stock, please ask.
How durable is the armour?
The armour is extremely durable; polyurethane is a very tough material and will not tear, crack or dent easily. The paint is applied by a unique method to Norton Armouries, and will not flake or peel off. It will however scratch if forced against rough surfaces or edges..
Are there any sharp edges??
All edges are rounded and smoothed out during the production process to ensure that the armour can be used safely (especially when performing stunts).
What about sizes?
The polyurethane armour used is very flexible and fits most people, in the instance you have a need for it to fit a smaller or larger person please contact us with their size and we inform you of what we are able to offer
Does it look real?
The pieces are designed to look extremely realistic, until you physicaly touch or pick them up you cannot tell the difference.
Is it suitable for stage fighting, re-enactment or soft weapons?
The armour is designed to be used on film sets and on stage, yes it will stand up to fighting with metal weapons or with soft weapons; however it may scratch if hit hard which will incur additional charges.
Is it suitable to perform stunts in?
All our armour is suitable to perform stunts in, many stunt personell have commented how good our armour is to perform in, as it is far less cumbersome than metal alternatives, and much more forgiving when moving around in or falling on.
