Shopfronts, shutters and doors in Cardiff

Cardiff: local shopping streets and premises

The arcades and Queen Street attract fashion, gifts and food retailers, and changes to external frontages there are looked at carefully. Cowbridge Road East in Canton, City Road in Roath and Crwys Road in Cathays are busier, more varied streets with plenty of takeaways, cafés and convenience stores.

Cardiff Bay has newer, glass-heavy commercial units where a clean aluminium and glass front fits the setting.

Student and commuter footfall means many Cardiff units open early and close late, so a frontage that is easy to open, easy to secure and clear to read from across the road earns its keep. Wide double doors or sliding doors help at busy times.

In the arcades and the city centre, the council and landlords expect frontages to suit the character of the building. Tell us early if your unit is in a conservation area, and we will help you choose a design and shutter type that can be agreed.

How a Cardiff job works

Cardiff customers begin by sending photographs and approximate measurements. A survey follows if necessary, along with a free written quotation. On approval, production takes place at Barking, and either our fitters install it or the order is delivered for your contractor.

Tell us the opening size and what the unit is used for, and we will help select a glazing, door and shutter combination that fits. See-through shutters suit evening trade; solid suits stock.

Glass shopfronts in Cardiff

A glazed shopfront helps a Cardiff unit show its product on busy student and commuter routes. Full-height panes in slim frames keep the interior visible from the pavement.

We supply it to the dimensions of your opening. Our glass and aluminium shopfront system begins at £999, based on a standard specification.

Aluminium shopfronts and commercial glazing in Cardiff

Aluminium frames are well suited to Cardiff's coastal climate and to units on City Road or Crwys Road. The finish can be any RAL colour.

The frames need no repainting, which helps busy takeaways, salons and convenience stores.

Timber shopfronts in Cardiff

Timber is a good fit for older Cardiff buildings, such as those around Cathedral Road and in the arcades. We supply wooden frontages with traditional detail.

Because design and size affect cost, timber is priced after a survey.

Roller shutters and security shutters in Cardiff

Roller shutters feature on many Cardiff streets after hours, including Cowbridge Road East. Solid is the strongest, and perforated or grille shutters keep the window on view.

Locks can be upgraded and the colour picked from the RAL range. Supply-only shutters are from £450.

Shop front doors in Cardiff

You can choose a single, double, automatic or sliding door for a Cardiff shop. Automatic doors suit busy stores.

We survey each opening so the door fits. Single aluminium doors start from £650, doubles from £1,050, excluding VAT.
