Bi-folding shopfronts fitted in Uppingham
Bi-folding shopfronts in Uppingham start from about £5,200 plus VAT for a standard opening, with a free survey and a written quotation before anything is ordered.
If your premises are in Uppingham, a surveyor measures the unit before anything is priced so the bi-folding shopfronts arrive made to fit.
From order to fitted
Allow 4-5 weeks after drawing sign-off from drawings to delivery. Fitting a standard Uppingham unit is normally one to two days on site. Closed-day or out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Specification notes
Folding the whole frontage back turns the glass line into open trading space, so pavement seating reads as part of the room. You can specify heavy-duty running gear for commercial cycles; leaves stack neatly to one or both sides.
