Aluminium shopfronts in Hertfordshire
If you are opening, moving or refreshing a unit in Hertfordshire, our aluminium shopfronts service covers the layout, the build and the paperwork, with work planned around your trading hours.
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 is shopfitting like in Hertfordshire?
Typical Hertfordshire jobs for this service involve pharmacies and healthcare premises, as well as shopping centre units and retail park stores. We check the lease, access and service capacity before pricing.
The East of England mixes historic market towns with new town centres and retail parks, which means a shopfitter here is as likely to work on a listed frontage as on a modern shell unit.
What does the work include?
- Toughened or laminated safety glass
- Single, double or automatic doors
- Level threshold and accessible door handles
- Stallriser and fascia panel

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.
