Aluminium shopfronts in Swindon
From the first measured survey to the day you open, our aluminium shopfronts work in Swindon is planned around your lease, your landlord and your trading hours.
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 happens at the survey?
For Swindon jobs we confirm loading and parking arrangements early, because access often shapes the programme as much as the build itself.
In and around Swindon we are usually asked to work on salons, barbers and beauty clinics and boutiques and independent retailers.
What is included?
- Stallriser and fascia panel
- Measured survey of the opening
- Powder-coated aluminium frames in any RAL colour
- Toughened or laminated safety glass
- Single, double or automatic doors
What should Swindon 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.
