Need aluminium shopfronts in Birmingham? We survey the unit, draw the layout with you and give a fixed, itemised price before anything is ordered.
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 is the work priced?
The survey for aluminium shopfronts in Birmingham covers measurements, service capacity, access for deliveries and any planning or building control points.
In and around Birmingham we are usually asked to work on pharmacies and healthcare premises and high street units and corner shops.
What is included?
- Toughened or laminated safety glass
- Single, double or automatic doors
- Level threshold and accessible door handles
- Stallriser and fascia panel
- Measured survey of the opening
What should Birmingham 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.
