Aluminium shopfronts across Northamptonshire

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 Northamptonshire
In Northamptonshire we mostly see salons, barbers and beauty clinics and cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
East Midlands town centres combine older Victorian parades with newer precincts, and many fit-outs involve updating dated units for food, beauty and convenience retailers.
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
What approvals might you need in Northamptonshire?
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.
