ABOUT SHOPFRONTS

Shopfronts were traditionally made of timber, and these are still available. They can be custom made to fit existing buildings, in timbers such as mahogany, teak, oak and beech.

More usually shopfronts are now made of aluminium. They can incorporate sliding doors or automatic swing doors, and metal shutters for security.

The leading UK suppliers of shopfronts, listed below the panel of sponsored links, have informative websites with illustrated online catalogues and details of product specifications. Turnaround time can be as little as two weeks.
