Aluminium shopfronts across Highland
Businesses across Highland use us for aluminium shopfronts because one team manages the design, the trades and the sign-off. We regularly quote in Inverness, Fort William, Nairn.
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 Highland
In Highland we mostly see shopping centre units and retail park stores and boutiques and independent retailers. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
Highland towns serve wide rural catchments and visitor trade, and fit-out logistics need planning around longer delivery distances.
What does the work include?
- Measured survey of the opening
- Powder-coated aluminium frames in any RAL colour
- Toughened or laminated safety glass
- Single, double or automatic doors
Planning and building control in Highland
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.
- Entrance doors should give a clear opening width that suits wheelchair users.
- Laminated glass holds together if broken, which helps security.
