Shop Front Installation - Benefits

There’s lots of benefits to having new aluminium shop fronts installed for your business as well as upgrades in general:

Enhanced Durability: Aluminium is corrosion-resistant and weatherproof, providing long-lasting protection against harsh environmental conditions. This make is an ideal material for use on a shop front that sees lots of footfall and is exposed to different weather conditions on a daily basis. 

Modern Aesthetic Appeal: Sleek and contemporary designs improve curb appeal, attracting more customers and enhancing brand image. The return on investment will be more clients and customers to your door, literally. 

Low Maintenance: Aluminium shop fronts in particular, require minimal upkeep, reducing long-term maintenance costs.

Energy Efficiency: Advanced glazing options and thermal insulation improve energy efficiency, reducing heating and cooling expenses. Every penny counts with any business so you will start seeing a return on your investment this way too over time. 

Security Enhancement: Strong and durable, aluminium frames can support reinforced glass and secure locking systems for better security. We can show you examples of shop front projects we’ve done where security has been improved massively.

How long does it take to install a new shop front?

The installation time for a new shop front typically ranges from 1 to 3 weeks, depending on the project's complexity, size, and material choice. Standard aluminium or glass shop fronts can often be completed within 5–10 working days after design approval, while custom designs or larger installations may take longer. Factors such as planning permissions and weather conditions can also impact the timeline. We will always provide an accurate time for you once we are on site and commence work. 

Are glass shop fronts secure?

Yes, glass shop fronts are highly secure when built with toughened safety glass or laminated glass, designed to resist impact and breakage. Combined with reinforced aluminium or steel frames and advanced locking systems, glass shop fronts provide excellent protection against forced entry and in general daily use. Security features like shutters, anti-shatter film, and security glazing can further enhance protection. We will go through all safety options you can have for your shop front upon design stage.

What materials are best for shop fronts?

The best materials for shop fronts depend on the business type and desired aesthetic, but common choices include:

  • Aluminium: Durable, lightweight, and low maintenance, ideal for modern and sleek designs.
  • Glass: Offers a contemporary, open look that maximises visibility and natural light.
  • Steel: Provides exceptional strength and security, suitable for high-security premises.
  • Timber: Traditional and elegant, often used for heritage or boutique shops, though it requires more maintenance.

What is the cost of a new shop front?

The cost of a new shop front can vary widely based on materials, size, and design complexity. On average:

Aluminium and glass shop fronts typically range from £3,000 to £10,000+. Steel shop fronts may cost more due to their heavy-duty construction. Custom designs or high-end finishes can increase costs further.

Installation fees, glazing options, security features, and permits can also affect the total price. For an accurate quote, a site assessment and design consultation are recommended by our team here at UK Doors and Shutters.
