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?
For Caernarfon jobs we confirm loading and parking arrangements early, because access often shapes the programme as much as the build itself.
In and around Caernarfon we are usually asked to work on showrooms and trade counters and cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants.

What should Caernarfon owners check first?

In Wales, the Building Regulations are set by the Welsh Government and applied by local authority building control. Shopfronts, signs and extraction flues need checking with the local planning authority, and many Welsh towns have conservation areas with stricter rules on shopfront design.
