Curtain walling in Nuneaton

We start from your Nuneaton building drawings where you have them, then measure the structure to confirm the fixing points.

Curtain walling and cladding on a commercial building

Taller glazing in Warwickshire has to be designed for its wind exposure, so your Nuneaton site is assessed before the frame sizes are fixed. Working at height needs planning, so access, scaffold and road space outside your Nuneaton building are covered in our quote for any job in Warwickshire.

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.

Common questions

Do you work in CV10, CV11?

Yes. Nuneaton and the CV10, CV11 postcodes are covered, as is the rest of Warwickshire. Send your postcode with your enquiry and we will come back to you with the next step.

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.

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.

Do I need planning permission for a new shopfront in Nuneaton?

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.
