SHOPFRONTS: DESIGN & INSTALLATION

With over 6,000 installations completed nationwide, we’re one of the UK’s most trusted specialists in the design, manufacture, installation and maintenance of shopfronts. Our architectural compositions are made-to-order to ensure we satisfy each individual business’s purpose, as well as its unique branding and safety needs. Once the design is approved, our team manufactures each system using advanced technology and high-quality materials.

Whether you’re upgrading security and accessibility, modernising an outdated façade or creating a brand-new entrance, we can help businesses of all sizes — from independent retailers to national chains.

We provide a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss your requirements and any relevant regulations. All installations include a 12-month warranty and a 10-year supplier-backed insurance guarantee for added peace of mind, alongside ongoing maintenance and servicing options to keep your shopfront performing at its best.

The Benefits of a Well-Designed Shopfront

More than just an entrance, it’s the first impression. A professionally designed frontage helps your premises stand out and increase footfall: research suggests passers-by are up to five times more likely to enter a store with an attractive exterior, making modern shopfronts a valuable long-term investment.

The benefits of professional shopfront installation services include:

Accessibility for All
 

Compliance with accessibility requirements, while creating an inclusive entrance for every customer, including access to the UK’s £274 billion “Purple Pound” market.

Health & Wellbeing
 

Maximise natural light to create a brighter, more welcoming environment that boosts staff wellbeing and enhances the customer experience.

Stronger Branding
 

Thoughtful shopfront design allows logos, colours and graphics to be incorporated for instant recognition and a polished, professional look.

Security Without Compromise

Enhanced protection with additional locking mechanisms, including maglocks. Aluminium systems can also be specified with PAS24 certification.

Inviting Design
 

Create a welcoming and professional exterior that encourages customer confidence from the moment they arrive.

Increase Property Value
 

A well-maintained shopfront enhances kerb appeal and can significantly raise the long-term value of your property.

Better Product Visibility
 

Improve visibility through enhanced sightlines and strategic glazing, helping showcase products more effectively from the outside.

SHOPFRONTS: COSTS & OPTIONS

Every installation is tailored to the specific needs of the premises, meaning costs can vary depending on size, material, design complexity and location. Aluminium systems are generally the most cost-effective option, while glass and timber alternatives usually come at a higher price point.

To ensure long-term flexibility, we offer a broad selection of interchangeable window options and security measures, allowing your frontage to adapt as business requirements change.

Built for strength, security and longevity, aluminium systems provide a versatile solution that can be tailored to complement your branding.
