Aluminium shopfronts in East Sussex
Businesses across East Sussex use us for aluminium shopfronts because one team manages the design, the trades and the sign-off. We regularly quote in Eastbourne, Hastings, Lewes.
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.
Working in East Sussex
In East Sussex we mostly see high street units and corner shops and convenience stores and off-licences. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
Across the South East, market towns with conservation areas sit next to large retail parks, so shopfront design often needs to satisfy planners on the high street while retail park units follow the landlord's specification.
What does the work include?
- Stallriser and fascia panel
- Measured survey of the opening
- Powder-coated aluminium frames in any RAL colour
- Toughened or laminated safety glass
What approvals might you need in East Sussex?
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.
- Laminated glass holds together if broken, which helps security.
