Are your shop fronts DDA compliant?

Yes. We design every shop front to meet the latest Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) requirements, ensuring easy access for all customers through low-threshold entries and appropriate door widths.

What frame sizes do you use for commercial retail?

We typically use a 100mm x 45mm or 100mm x 50mm box section for our aluminium shop fronts. This provides the necessary structural strength for high-traffic environments and large expanses of safety glass.

Can you integrate automated entrance systems?

Absolutely. Our commercial teams are experienced in integrating various access control systems, including automated swing or sliding doors, to suit your specific business needs.
