Aluminium Shop Fronts Slough & Watford

We have been an established business for over 20 years. The aluminium shop fronts that we manufacture and supply are easy to assemble and durable once they’re set up. With a drainage tray, these doors are built for strong rain in any season.

At Direct Trade, we offer a comprehensive range of profile sections to make sure that you’re getting the swing, rebated or auto swing/auto sliding doors that you’re looking for. When you contact our Slough team we can talk to you about the automation that we use.

One of the reasons that we love Smart for aluminium shop fronts is that these systems can be quickly assembled with easy to clip mullions while offering sightlines of only 50mm. The square cut profiles are joined with self tapping screws for rapid onsite assembly, which is perfect whether for our own installation, or in our supply to trade.

Thermally Efficient

One of the key benefits to choosing an aluminium shop front is that it offers great thermal efficiency. All of the doors that we fabricate have been tested to BRFC standards, ensuring that they meet and exceed government standards. Which is why we fabricate them with thermally broken low thresholds, and polyamide thermal breaks.

But more importantly our doors have been tested for air tightness (Class 2, 300Pa), water tightness (Class 7a, 150Pa), and wind resistance (Class A5, 2000Pa). When looking for aluminium shop fronts, you’ll want to make sure that your door is meeting both building codes, and works well for customers.

We think these doors are perfect, in part because aluminium is such a lightweight material. It still offers incredible strength, which allows us to provide triple glazing. However, our doors weigh only 80-100kg. So end users with low mobility can easily open these doors without a problem.

We also offer aluminium entrance doors, and steel look bifold doors. If you’re looking for shop front supply, get in touch today.
