Aluminium shopfronts in the West Midlands
We carry out aluminium shopfronts throughout the West Midlands, from Dudley to West Bromwich. 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.

What approvals might you need in the West Midlands?
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.
- 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.
