What's included
Every aluminium shopfronts project we facilitate is delivered by a vetted specialist with appropriate trade accreditations, insurance and references. The process is straightforward:
- Tell us about the property. Submit a quick brief — location, property type, dimensions if known.
- Free site survey. A specialist contacts you to arrange a no-obligation site visit.
- Quote & specification. You receive a detailed quote covering materials, finish, installation and aftercare.
- Installation. Professionally installed to industry standards, with warranty and servicing options.
Why specialist installation matters
Aluminium Shopfronts sit at the boundary between security, weather-tightness and kerb appeal. Cutting corners on specification or installation tends to surface within twelve months — through misalignment, motor failure, water ingress or rapid corrosion. The specialists in our network are selected for the quality of their long-term work, not the speed of their quotes.
Typical applications
- Retail premises and high-street shops
- Restaurants, cafés and hospitality venues
- Warehouses and industrial units
- Offices and commercial buildings
- Listed buildings and conservation areas (where applicable)
Costs & pricing
Aluminium Shopfronts pricing varies significantly with size, specification, finish and access complexity. For typical commercial premises, you can expect a quote that itemises materials, fabrication, installation, warranty period and any optional aftercare.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do aluminium shopfronts last?
A properly installed powder-coated aluminium shopfront has a 25–30 year service life. Powder coating typically holds colour for 15–20 years before refurbishment is worth considering.
Can I get any colour?
Yes — powder coating is available in the full RAL palette plus most BS4800 colours. Anodised and metallic finishes are also available at modest premium.
What glazing is used?
Standard spec is 6.4mm laminated safety glass to BS 6262. For security-sensitive premises, 11.5mm or 13.5mm laminated is common; for thermal performance, double-glazed sealed units (28mm typical) are specified.
How quickly can it be installed?
From order to installation is typically 4–6 weeks (3–4 weeks for fabrication, 1 day for installation). Express options exist for refurbishments where the framework is reusable.
