Aluminium shopfronts in Cumbria
From Kendal to Barrow-in-Furness, we deliver aluminium shopfronts for independent owners and multi-site operators across Cumbria, with fixed prices and a dated programme.
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.

In England, fit-out work that affects fire escape, structure, drainage or accessibility falls under the Building Regulations and is signed off by local authority or approved inspector building control. Shopfronts, extraction flues and illuminated signs are dealt with separately by the local planning authority.
- Entrance doors should give a clear opening width that suits wheelchair users.
