Aluminium cladding and ACM panels Cornwall

Owners across the South West can ask us to match an existing RAL colour, which keeps a new section in line with the rest of a Cornwall building. Cladding changes how a building looks, so in the South West we confirm with you whether a planning application is likely for your Cornwall unit.

What do we offer in Cornwall?

Mineral-filled coreA mineral-filled core gives a much better reaction to fire class than a polyethylene core, and it is often the starting point for external walls.

Column and soffit casingsPanels wrap columns, beams and canopy undersides to tidy up the structure.

ACM panelsTwo aluminium skins and a core make a flat, light panel that is easy to rout and fold into trays.

How much does it cost in Cornwall?

Expect £120 to £260 ex VAT per m². Core choice depends on the building, so we confirm the fire requirements for your Cornwall premises before choosing a panel. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Cornwall?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Cornwall, including Bodmin, Falmouth, Newquay, Penzance.

Do I need planning permission for shop cladding?

Usually yes in England, if the cladding materially alters how the building looks. Recladding a fascia like for like may not need it, but a new colour or material across a facade usually will. Rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and listed buildings need extra care.

Is ACM cladding safe to use?

It depends on the core and where it is used. In England, metal composite panels with an unmodified polyethylene core are banned from the external walls of buildings of any height. Mineral-filled and solid aluminium options are available. Rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so check early.

What is the difference between ACM and solid aluminium?

ACM has a core between two thin aluminium skins, so it is lighter, flatter and easier to fold. Solid aluminium sheet has no core, which removes any question about core material, but it is heavier and may need more stiffening on large panels.
