Aluminium shopfronts for Dorchester businesses
Need aluminium shopfronts in Dorchester? We survey the unit, draw the layout with you and give a fixed, itemised price before anything is ordered.
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.
What happens at the survey?
Every aluminium shopfronts quote for Dorchester lists each element separately, so you can see what the layout, joinery, services and finishes each cost.
In and around Dorchester we are usually asked to work on shopping centre units and retail park stores and high street units and corner shops.

- Toughened or laminated safety glass
- Single, double or automatic doors
- Level threshold and accessible door handles

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