Aluminium shopfronts in Fife
We carry out aluminium shopfronts throughout Fife, from Kirkcaldy to Glenrothes. Every job starts with a measured survey and ends with a certified, trading-ready 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.
Local projects in Fife
In Fife we mostly see high street units and corner shops and showrooms and trade counters. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
East Central Scotland includes the capital's historic streets, where much of the centre is protected, alongside modern towns with newer retail developments.
What does the work include?
- Powder-coated aluminium frames in any RAL colour
- Toughened or laminated safety glass
- Single, double or automatic doors
- Level threshold and accessible door handles
Planning and building control in Fife
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.
- Laminated glass holds together if broken, which helps security.
- A new shopfront usually needs planning permission, and more in a conservation area.
