Shopfronts & entrances
Aluminium shopfronts
In short, aluminium shopfronts are powder-coated aluminium frontages, made to the measured opening. Every job starts with a survey so the work is made to your opening, not a guess.
Why businesses choose it
Where the unit is in a conservation area, sections and colours are chosen with the planning officer's expectations in mind. Glass in the critical zones is safety glass as standard, toughened or laminated to suit the position. The finished frontage is sealed to the structure and checked for level, square and smooth door operation before we leave.
How we handle it
An elevation looks right when the shopfront, the entrance doors and the windows above share the same sightlines and colour. We survey the whole face of the building and draw it as one scheme, then phase the work if the budget needs it.
Options and specification
- Low-threshold entrance options for level access
- Thermally broken or non-thermal sections to suit the unit
- Any RAL colour, including dual-colour frames
How much do aluminium shopfronts cost?
The entry price is about £2,450 plus VAT. Your quote depends on the opening size, the finish and how easy access is. Once issued, the price is fixed for 90 days unless the specification changes.
How long does it take?
Allow 3-4 weeks after drawing sign-off from drawings to delivery. On site, most your jobs take one or two days. Early starts and closed-day fitting are both possible.
