Curtain walling in Warwickshire
We start from your Warwickshire building drawings where you have them, then measure the structure to confirm the fixing points.
Taller glazing in the West Midlands has to be designed for its wind exposure, so your Warwickshire site is assessed before the frame sizes are fixed. Working at height needs planning, so access, scaffold and road space outside your Warwickshire building are covered in our quote for any job in the West Midlands.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Warwickshire?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Warwickshire, including Atherstone, Bedworth, Kenilworth, Leamington Spa.
Do I need planning permission for curtain walling?
Usually yes in England, because it materially alters the external appearance of the building. Rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, which run separate systems. We can prepare elevations and details to support an application, but the council makes the decision.
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.
Does curtain walling need building regulations approval?
Yes in most cases, because it affects the external wall, energy and fire performance. In England, the relevant guidance includes Approved Documents L and B. Scotland uses building warrants and the Technical Handbooks, Northern Ireland uses Technical Booklets, and Wales has its own Approved Documents.
