Aluminium Shopfronts FAQs

What are the advantages of aluminium shopfronts?

Aluminium shopfronts provide strength, security, and a sleek, modern appearance. They’re lightweight yet robust, corrosion-resistant, low-maintenance, and available in a wide range of finishes — perfect for retail and commercial environments where first impressions matter.

How do you ensure glass safety, security and compliance?

We only use toughened or laminated safety glass, reinforced aluminium framing, and multi-point locking. All systems are compliant with UK Building Regulations and can be specified to meet PAS 24 or Secured by Design standards for enhanced security.

Can you retrofit aluminium shopfronts to existing buildings?

Yes — we frequently upgrade or replace outdated shopfronts with new aluminium systems that improve insulation, security and visual appeal, all while minimising disruption to your business.

Do you offer integrated automatic or entrance doors?

Absolutely. We design and install swing, sliding or bi-parting automatic doors within the shopfront system, ensuring seamless entry for customers and compliance with accessibility requirements.

What maintenance does an aluminium shopfront need?

Maintenance is minimal — just regular cleaning of the glass and frames with mild detergent, lubricating hinges and locks annually, and checking weather seals to ensure lasting performance.

Which areas do you cover?

We supply and install aluminium shopfronts across Southampton, Hampshire, and throughout the UK, offering full national coverage for both independent retailers and multi-site brands.
