Shopfronts & entrances
Steel shopfronts
Steel shopfronts are heavy-section steel frontages for high-risk or heritage-industrial units. You get a free survey, an itemised quotation and an installation date that suits the business.
How it is made
Steel takes an impact that aluminium will not, so it is the usual choice for units that have been targeted before or that sit on a late-night street. The finished frontage is sealed to the structure and checked for level, square and smooth door operation before we leave.
Why SK Shopfronts
Multi-unit landlords, contractors and growing retailers use us because one contract covers the frontage, the security and the entrance. One programme, one point of contact, one set of O&M documents at handover.
Options and specification
- Slim steel sections with high impact resistance
- Laminated glass options for attack resistance
- Crittall-style glazing bar patterns
