Aluminium shopfronts across Tayside
Businesses across Tayside use us for aluminium shopfronts because one team manages the design, the trades and the sign-off. We regularly quote in Dundee, Perth, Arbroath.
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.

Planning and building control in Tayside
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.
- A new shopfront usually needs planning permission, and more in a conservation area.
- Entrance doors should give a clear opening width that suits wheelchair users.
