Overview
Why shopfronts?
A shopfront is a business's first impression and its main security barrier. We design and fit aluminium shopfronts and entrances for shops, offices, restaurants and mixed-use buildings.
Each shopfront is designed around the opening, the door traffic and access requirements, then priced after a free site survey.

Good to know
Planning, regulations and timings
Planning and advertisement consent
A new or altered shopfront usually needs planning permission, and signage may need advertisement consent.
Access and safety glass
Building Regulations set requirements for accessible entrances and safety glass in critical locations. We design to both.
Designed after a free survey
Every one is designed for its site, so there is no honest 'typical' price. We measure and design it at a free design survey, and you get a written quote before anything is ordered.
Questions
Shopfronts: your questions answered
How much does a new shopfront cost?
Every one is designed for the site, so we price a new shopfront after a free design survey rather than quote a misleading 'typical' figure. You get a written quote before anything is ordered, and nothing is built until you've approved the design.
Do I need planning permission for a new shopfront?
Usually, yes, and signage may also need advertisement consent. We'll tell you what's needed at the site survey.
Can you include an automatic door?
Yes — automatic sliding or swing doors can be built into the shopfront for accessible entry.
What glass do you use in shopfronts?
Toughened or laminated safety glass, with laminated security glass where it's needed.
