Shopfronts and shutters for cafes and restaurants
A cafe or restaurant frontage has to sell the atmosphere, then lock up safely at the end of the night.
What does a cafe frontage need?
Warm colours, generous glass and, where the street allows, a bi-fold opening for summer. Check pavement licence rules before you plan tables outside.
Which shutter suits a restaurant?
A concealed shutter behind the fascia keeps the look clean through the evening. Grilles or perforated curtains let a lit room be seen on the way home, which is good advertising.
What about noise and neighbours?
Folding fronts and external shutters can both bring planning conditions in residential streets, especially on opening hours. We flag this at survey.
