Curtain walling in Berwick-upon-Tweed
South-facing glass can overheat a room, so we can price solar control glass for your Berwick-upon-Tweed premises if that is a concern.
Developers and landlords in Northumberland can get one priced package for a Berwick-upon-Tweed building, covering glazing, doors and spandrel panels together. Taller glazing in Northumberland has to be designed for its wind exposure, so your Berwick-upon-Tweed site is assessed before the frame sizes are fixed.

What does it cost in Berwick-upon-Tweed?
Curtain walling usually costs £550 to £950 ex VAT per m², supplied and fitted. System type, glass specification, height, grid size and access set the rate. Scaffolding or powered access, structural calculations, fire stopping at floor edges and any removal of existing cladding are usually added on top. We measure from drawings or on site and provide a written quote.
If your Berwick-upon-Tweed unit has a double-height entrance, curtain walling can carry the glass up past the normal shop opening. Tell us your opening hours when you book and we will plan the Berwick-upon-Tweed job around them, with overnight or weekend fitting where the work allows.
Common questions
Do you work in TD15?
Yes. Berwick-upon-Tweed and the TD15 postcodes are covered, as is the rest of Northumberland. Send your postcode with your enquiry and we will come back to you with the next step.
What is the difference between curtain walling and a shopfront?
Curtain walling spans floors and hangs off the building structure, while a shopfront sits inside an opening, usually at ground level. Curtain walling has to carry higher wind and weather loads, so the sections are deeper and the design calculations more involved.
How is curtain walling kept watertight?
By drainage and pressure equalisation, not by sealant alone. Gaskets keep most water out, and any that gets past them drains through the frame and weeps back outside. Joints to the surrounding structure are sealed with membranes, and larger jobs are usually tested on site.
Do I need planning permission for a new shopfront in Berwick-upon-Tweed?
Usually yes, if the new front changes how the building looks. Like-for-like repairs usually don't. Your local planning authority decides, and we can prepare the drawings. Signs and external shutters have their own rules.
