Shopfronts & entrances
Curtain walling
Put simply, curtain walling is structural glazed facades for commercial and mixed-use buildings, measured on site and installed by one team from survey to sign-off.
How it is made
Door hardware is chosen with you: closer strength, lock type and handle style all go on the drawing. Colours are matched to a RAL reference, so a brand colour or a landlord's parade colour can be followed exactly. The frame is fabricated to the measurements taken at survey, so it fits the opening first time.
Working with us
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
- Opening vents where ventilation is required
- Designed to the building regulations U-value for the work
- Stick or unitised systems

Questions about curtain walling
Can you match the units either side?
On a parade where the landlord wants a consistent frontage, we work to the same section profile and colour reference so the unit reads as part of the row.
What do you need from me to quote?
The address, roughly what you want, and a photo of the current frontage. Opening sizes help but are not essential, because we measure at survey anyway.
How much does curtain walling cost near me?
Curtain walling start from around £8,500 plus VAT for a standard opening. The exact figure depends on the width, height, finish and access, and comes from a free site survey as a written, itemised quotation.
Do I need planning permission near me?
Like-for-like replacements usually do not. Changing the appearance of the frontage, fitting an external roller shutter or adding an illuminated sign usually needs consent from your local council. We tell you which applies at survey.
