Aluminium shopfronts contractors in Annan
We carry out aluminium shopfronts in Annan and the surrounding parts of Dumfries and Galloway, managing every trade from strip-out to a clean handover.
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.
How do we plan the job?
Every aluminium shopfronts quote for Annan lists each element separately, so you can see what the layout, joinery, services and finishes each cost.
In and around Annan we are usually asked to work on shopping centre units and retail park stores and showrooms and trade counters.
What is included?
- Toughened or laminated safety glass
- Single, double or automatic doors
- Level threshold and accessible door handles
- Stallriser and fascia panel
- Measured survey of the opening
What should Annan 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 Scotland, most fit-out work that alters the building needs a building warrant from the local authority before work starts, followed by a completion certificate. Planning permission and advertisement consent are separate, and Scottish councils publish their own shopfront design guidance.
