An aluminium shopfront is the glazed frame, doors and stallriser that make up the front of a shop, made to measure in powder-coated aluminium with toughened or laminated safety glass.

Typical guide price£3,500–£9,000per shopfront, ex VAT. Fixed price after survey.

Why does it matter?

Your shopfront is the first thing a customer judges. We manufacture it to your opening, in your colour, with a door that meets accessibility rules and glass that meets safety standards.

What is included?

  • Measured survey of the opening
  • Powder-coated aluminium frames in any RAL colour
  • Toughened or laminated safety glass
  • Single, double or automatic doors
  • Level threshold and accessible door handles
  • Stallriser and fascia panel

What should you check before you start?

  • A new shopfront usually needs planning permission, and more in a conservation area.
  • Entrance doors should give a clear opening width that suits wheelchair users.
  • Laminated glass holds together if broken, which helps security.

How do we price it?

We survey the unit first, then give you an itemised, fixed price with a dated programme. The range above is a starting guide; your survey confirms the real figure, including access, services and any landlord or planning conditions.

Questions people ask

Do I need planning permission for a new shopfront?

Usually yes, because it changes the look of the building. Like-for-like repairs often don't. We check with the council for you.

How long does a shopfront take to make?

Manufacture is typically three to five weeks after the survey and drawings are approved. Fitting is usually one or two days.

Can you match our brand colour?

Yes. Frames are powder coated to any RAL colour.
