Common questions
What timber is used?
European oak, sapele, accoya and idigbo are the most common hardwoods for shopfronts. Choice depends on durability, finish (paint vs stain), budget, and any conservation officer requirements.
How long do timber shopfronts last?
A well-built hardwood shopfront with regular paint maintenance lasts 50+ years. The original Victorian and Edwardian shopfronts still in use today are evidence.
