What should you check before you decide?
How is the frontage measured?
We measure the structural opening, not the old frame. Lintel condition, floor level and how square the opening is all get recorded at survey.
Can it have a shutter later?
Yes, but it is far neater to allow for one now. Tell us at survey, and we will leave height behind the fascia even if the shutter comes later.
What affects the price most?
Width, the number of doors, glass type and any strip-out. A second door or a laminated upgrade moves the figure more than the colour does.
Do you need consent in Airdrie?
Usually yes, if the look of the frontage changes. Replacing like for like may not need permission, but North Lanarkshire Council has the final say. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.
What do people ask about steel shopfronts in Airdrie?
Does a new shopfront in Airdrie need planning permission?
A change to how the frontage looks usually does. North Lanarkshire Council is the council to check with, and we advise at survey.
Can you add a shutter to the new shopfront?
Yes, and it is best planned now. We can price the frontage and shutter as one job.
How soon can you fit a steel shopfront in Airdrie?
Lead time is 5 to 6 weeks after drawing sign-off. We book the fitting days around your trading.
Is steel stronger than aluminium for a shopfront?
Yes, section for section. It also lets you keep glazing bars slim while holding heavier glass.
