Shopfronts & entrances
Aluminium shopfronts
Aluminium shopfronts are powder-coated aluminium frontages, made to the measured opening. You get a free survey, an itemised quotation and an installation date that suits the business.
Why businesses choose it
Every frontage is fabricated to the dimensions taken on site, glazed with safety glass in the critical zones, and installed with the door hardware your insurer or fire risk assessment calls for. The frame is fabricated to the measurements taken at survey, so it fits the opening first time.
How we handle it
Midlands Shopfronts covers the full frontage: the glazing, the entrance door, the fascia above it and the shutter that closes over it at night. Keeping it all with one team means one survey, one set of drawings and one person accountable when the job is signed off.
