Aluminium shopfronts across South Glamorgan
We carry out aluminium shopfronts throughout South Glamorgan, from Barry to Penarth. 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.
Working in South Glamorgan
Most enquiries we get from South Glamorgan come from convenience stores and off-licences or showrooms and trade counters, and the survey is where we pick up the details that change the price.
South Wales town centres, from the capital to the valleys, have many older terraced shop units where fit-outs need careful work around existing structure and services.
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 South Glamorgan?
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.
- Laminated glass holds together if broken, which helps security.
- A new shopfront usually needs planning permission, and more in a conservation area.
