Aluminium cladding and ACM panels in Gloucestershire

Cladding changes how a building looks, so in the South West we confirm with you whether a planning application is likely for your Gloucestershire unit.

Anthracite aluminium composite panels fitted to a fascia

Core choice depends on the building, so we confirm the fire requirements for your Gloucestershire premises before choosing a panel. 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 Gloucestershire building.

What do we offer in Gloucestershire?

Column and soffit casingsPanels wrap columns, beams and canopy undersides to tidy up the structure.
Solid aluminium sheetA single sheet, typically 2 to 3 mm, with no composite core at all.
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 Gloucestershire?

As a guide, allow £120 to £260 ex VAT per m². Cladding can cover tired brickwork on your Gloucestershire premises, but we check the wall behind first so that no defect is hidden. We set out every cost in writing before work starts.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Gloucestershire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Gloucestershire, including Cheltenham, Cirencester, Gloucester, Stroud.

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.

How do I clean aluminium cladding?

Wash it with water and a neutral detergent, at intervals that suit the site. Avoid abrasive pads and strong solvents. Near the sea or a busy road, wash more often, because salt and traffic film can wear the finish. Follow the coating maker's guidance to keep its warranty valid.
