Curtain walling in Rugby
We start from your Rugby building drawings where you have them, then measure the structure to confirm the fixing points.
If your Rugby unit has a double-height entrance, curtain walling can carry the glass up past the normal shop opening. South-facing glass can overheat a room, so we can price solar control glass for your Rugby premises if that is a concern.
Rugby is about 29 miles from our Great Barr base in Birmingham, so surveys are easy to plan. Jobs in CV21, CV22 are planned alongside Daventry and Coventry.

What does it cost in Rugby?
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 Rugby building are covered in our quote for any job in Warwickshire. We protect the pavement and your stock, keep the opening secure at the end of every shift, and leave the Rugby site clean.
Common questions
Do you work in CV21, CV22?
Yes. Rugby and the CV21, CV22 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.
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.
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.
Do I need planning permission for a new shopfront in Rugby?
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.
