Aluminium cladding and ACM panels Suffolk

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

What do we offer in Suffolk?

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

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.

Perforated panelsPerforated sheet can screen plant or add a pattern, with optional backlighting.

How much does it cost in Suffolk?

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 Suffolk frontage. We set out every cost in writing before work starts.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Suffolk?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Suffolk, including Bury St Edmunds, Felixstowe, Ipswich, Lowestoft.

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.

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.

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.
