Maximising visibility, natural light, and kerb appeal, a well-specified glass shop front is one of the highest return investments commercial premises in Nottingham can make. Directly influencing footfall and customer conversion; whether you’re fitting out a retail unit, restaurant, supermarket, garden centre, café, showroom, or hotel, glass shopfronts are a valuable marketing essential.
Manufactured in the UK in accordance with various European Standards, including BS EN 12150, and backed by a 12-month guarantee, each Commercial Aluminium Shopfronts installation includes a choice of doors, patch fittings, and high-security hardware.
Designed to meet strict European safety standards, fire-rated glazing provides critical protection by containing flames, smoke, and heat for a specified period while still allowing visibility and light flow – ideal for commercial environments where both safety compliance and aesthetic appeal are essential.
10.8mm or 12mm toughened glass is up to five times stronger than standard glass, offering improved thermal efficiency and safety. It is heated to 620°C and then rapidly cooled, altering its breakage pattern and enabling it to withstand daily impacts, temperature fluctuations, and attempted break-ins more effectively than ordinary glass.
Best known for its strength, it is made by bonding a clear vinyl interlayer between two glass plies. Offering enhanced structural integrity, laminated glass prevents the glass from shattering or falling out of place if damaged, minimising the risk of injury. It also tends to reduce noise, making it very valuable in high-traffic areas.
Our fully customisable panels offer naturally widened sightlines, allowing customers to see more of the building’s interior from multiple angles. They are also strong enough to ensure durability and offer protection from natural events and vandalism.
Engineered to optimise natural energy efficiency, passive solar gain glass helps to regulate indoor temperatures by allowing sunlight in while minimising excessive heat build-up. It also protects the interior from sun damage.
Using minimal structural support to create a clean, uninterrupted glass façade, this option allows maximum natural light and provides a full view of the building’s interior. It results in a contemporary, high-end appearance that enhances customer engagement and reinforces brand image.
Preventing condensation issues and improving visibility, this option features advanced low-emissivity (low-E) coatings, which reduce moisture build-up on the surface and ensure clear visibility in all temperature conditions. It not only improves appearance but also hygiene.
Bespoke patterns, frosted finishes, and textured designs can elevate your commercial property to another level. This option allows for the incorporation of intricate branding, logos, and other artistic motifs into your glass panes – applied using high-quality methods to withstand daily demands.
Using motion sensors, these doors open and close automatically. Offering improved convenience and effortless access for customers, they are ideal in high-traffic areas.
Providing a space saving solution with a sleek, modern look, these doors are an excellent choice for establishments with limited space. The thick glass also reduces outside noise.
Suitable for low- to medium-traffic areas, they combine a classic design with the elegance of glass. Pivoting smoothly on robust hinges, they offer easy access and maximise natural light.
These doors, which allow establishments to create wide, open spaces, consist of multiple panels that fold back neatly to one side when opened. They are perfect for high-footfall locations.
