Aluminium cladding and ACM panels East Sussex

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

What do we offer in East Sussex?

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

Cassette panelsFolded trays hang on a rail, with hidden fixings and neat shadow gaps.

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.

How much does it cost in East Sussex?

As a guide, allow £120 to £260 ex VAT per m². We measure columns, soffits and fascias together on one visit, so that panel joints line up neatly across your East Sussex frontage. The price we confirm in writing includes travel and access.

Common questions

Do you cover all of East Sussex?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across East Sussex, including Brighton, Eastbourne, Hastings, Lewes.

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.

Can cladding go over existing brickwork?

Yes, using a support frame fixed back to sound brickwork, with a ventilated gap behind the panels. We check the substrate first, as loose render or damp walls need attention before anything covers them. Insulation and cavity barriers may also be required under building regulations.

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.
