Curtain walling in Hexham
South-facing glass can overheat a room, so we can price solar control glass for your Hexham premises if that is a concern.
If your Hexham unit has a double-height entrance, curtain walling can carry the glass up past the normal shop opening. Developers and landlords in Northumberland can get one priced package for a Hexham building, covering glazing, doors and spandrel panels together.
Work in Hexham is run from Birmingham, roughly 168 miles away, with teams booked for the whole job so it is finished in one visit wherever possible. Postcodes we work in around here include NE46, and we also cover Consett, Stanley and Newcastle upon Tyne nearby.
What do most businesses choose in Hexham?
What does it cost in Hexham?
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.
Working at height needs planning, so access, scaffold and road space outside your Hexham building are covered in our quote for any job in Northumberland. We protect the pavement and your stock, keep the opening secure at the end of every shift, and leave the Hexham site clean.
Common questions
Do you cover Hexham?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works in Hexham and across Northumberland, including NE46. Call 0800 088 6341 or send the form with your postcode and we will confirm the details.
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 Hexham?
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.
