Aluminium shopfronts in Gateshead
We carry out aluminium shopfronts in Gateshead and the surrounding parts of Tyne and Wear, managing every trade from strip-out to a clean 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.
How do we plan the job?
Before we price aluminium shopfronts in Gateshead, we check the lease, the landlord's fit-out rules, the existing services and how materials can get into the unit.
In and around Gateshead we are usually asked to work on boutiques and independent retailers and cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants.
What is included?
- Level threshold and accessible door handles
- Stallriser and fascia panel
- Measured survey of the opening
- Powder-coated aluminium frames in any RAL colour
- Toughened or laminated safety glass
What should Gateshead owners check first?
- 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.
- Laminated glass holds together if broken, which helps security.
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.
