Made-to-Measure Aluminium Shopfronts

Aluminium shopfronts provide a clean framed entrance that can be configured around the width of the opening, the required glazing area and the way customers enter the premises. They are commonly considered for shops, restaurants, offices and service businesses that want a practical frontage with clear display visibility.

Read our guide to aluminium shopfronts.

The system is specified project by project. Decisions include single or double doors, frame layout, glazing, threshold and closer requirements, colour or finish, interfaces with a shutter or fascia, and the work required around the existing opening. We do not publish a universal price because measurements, site access and component choices materially affect the scope.

View the current examples below, then request a written quotation. Include clear photographs of the frontage, the property postcode, approximate width and height, preferred door arrangement and any access or programme constraints. Final dimensions and suitability must be confirmed before fabrication.

Aluminium shopfront configuration choices

The specification can address single or paired entrance doors, the position and proportion of glazed bays, midrails or lower panels where required, framing around signs or shutters, and a finish selected for the project. Glazing is not chosen by appearance alone: glass make-up, safety needs, panel size and the way the frontage is used must be recorded by the responsible project team.

Door hardware and everyday use

Discuss opening direction, closer, hinges or pivots, handles, locking, access control, thresholds and the expected number and type of users. If automatic operation is requested, it becomes a separate powered-door specification with risk assessment, safety devices, commissioning and maintenance requirements. Do not add automatic-door or security-performance claims to this category unless the quoted system supports them.

Finish, care and coordination

Powder-coated or other finish options may be available, but the exact colour reference, sheen, substrate preparation and supplier availability must be approved in writing. Aluminium is generally straightforward to clean, while doors, closers, locks, seals and drainage paths still need inspection and care. Coordinate the shopfront with the fascia, shutter, floor level and adjacent finishes before manufacture to avoid visible gaps and unclear making-good responsibilities.

What affects aluminium shopfront cost?

Opening size, number of doors, glazing, hardware, finish, demolition, access, shutter/sign coordination and installation conditions all matter. The website therefore uses a measured quote rather than importing a competitor’s square-metre price or advertising an incomplete “from” figure.
