Aluminium shop fronts are commercial entrance systems made from durable aluminium frames, often combined with glass panels. They provide a modern, sleek appearance while offering excellent strength, weather resistance, and security for retail stores, offices, and showrooms.
Why choose aluminium for a shop front?
Aluminium is lightweight yet strong, corrosion-resistant, and low-maintenance. It can be powder-coated in any colour, allowing for complete design flexibility while maintaining durability and long lifespan.
Are aluminium shop fronts energy-efficient?
Yes. Modern aluminium shop fronts can include thermal break technology and double-glazed glass, which help to reduce heat loss and improve insulation, lowering energy bills for your business.
Can aluminium shop fronts be customised?
Absolutely. Aluminium shop fronts can be customised in colour, style, glazing type, and configuration. Options include sliding doors, bi-folding doors, and automatic entrance systems to suit your brand and customer flow.
How secure are aluminium shop fronts?
Aluminium shop fronts are highly secure. They can be fitted with toughened or laminated glass, multi-point locking systems, and reinforced frames, making them resistant to forced entry and vandalism.
Do aluminium shop fronts require much maintenance?
Not at all. Aluminium does not rust, warp, or rot. Maintenance usually involves periodic cleaning of the glass and frames, plus occasional checks of hinges and locks to ensure smooth operation.
How long do aluminium shop fronts last?
With proper installation and minimal upkeep, aluminium shop fronts can last 30 years or more, making them a cost-effective long-term investment for your business.
