An aluminium shopfront is a framed entrance system made from strong, lightweight aluminium profiles combined with glass panels. It provides a modern, clean and professional appearance that suits retail units, offices, showrooms and commercial buildings. Aluminium is extremely durable, weather-resistant and low-maintenance, making it one of the most popular choices for business entrances across the UK.
Aluminium offers excellent strength, long-term durability and corrosion resistance. It supports large glazed areas for maximum visibility, improves natural light, and can be powder-coated in almost any colour to match your branding. It is also cost-effective, lightweight, environmentally friendly and suitable for high-traffic commercial environments. Compared to timber or uPVC, aluminium generally lasts longer and requires minimal upkeep.
The cost depends on the size, design, glazing type and door configuration. As a guide, a typical aluminium shopfront installation can range from £2,500 to £7,500+, depending on specification. Features such as laminated safety glass, automatic doors or bespoke colours can increase the price. For an accurate quotation, we carry out a site survey and provide a detailed breakdown based on your requirements.
Key factors include the overall width and height of the frontage, the number of doors required, glass type (toughened, laminated, double-glazed), chosen colour finish, hardware, security requirements and whether the system is manual or automatic. Installation complexity, ground conditions and removal of existing shopfronts can also influence cost. Our team provides transparent, itemised pricing so you know exactly what is included.
Yes. Aluminium is naturally strong and offers excellent resistance to impact and forced entry. When combined with laminated safety glass, quality locks and commercial-grade hardware, aluminium shopfronts provide a high level of security suitable for retail, hospitality and public buildings. Additional features such as access control, reinforced profiles and automatic locking can be incorporated as required.
We offer a full range of glazing options including toughened, laminated, double-glazed and energy-efficient glass. Aluminium frames can be powder-coated in any RAL colour to match your branding. You can choose from sliding, hinged or automatic doors, as well as bespoke configurations to suit your layout. Signage panels, manifestation film and security upgrades can also be added.
Aluminium shopfronts typically last 20–30 years or more with minimal maintenance. The material does not rust and is highly resistant to weathering. Routine care usually involves simple cleaning of the glass and frames, and occasional lubrication of door hardware. For automatic doors, we recommend scheduled servicing to ensure smooth, reliable operation.
Most installations take 1–3 days, depending on the size and complexity of the project. Larger frontages or systems involving automatic doors may take slightly longer.
