Aluminium cladding and ACM panels Tyne and Wear

Owners across the North East can ask us to match an existing RAL colour, which keeps a new section in line with the rest of a Tyne and Wear building. Scaffold or tower access may be needed, and we build that into the quote so owners in the North East see the full cost of a Tyne and Wear job.

What do we offer in Tyne and Wear?

Solid aluminium sheetA single sheet, typically 2 to 3 mm, with no composite core at all.

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.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Tyne and Wear?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Tyne and Wear, including Gateshead, Hebburn, Jarrow, Newcastle upon Tyne.

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.

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.

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.
