Curtain walling in Warwick
If your Warwick 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 Warwick premises if that is a concern. Developers and landlords in Warwickshire can get one priced package for a Warwick building, covering glazing, doors and spandrel panels together.
At roughly 22 miles from Great Barr, Warwick is close to home for us. Survey visits are straightforward to arrange. Our Warwick work takes in CV34. Neighbouring Leamington Spa and Kenilworth are covered too.

What does it cost in Warwick?
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.
We start from your Warwick building drawings where you have them, then measure the structure to confirm the fixing points. Tell us your opening hours when you book and we will plan the Warwick job around them, with overnight or weekend fitting where the work allows.
Common questions
Do you work in CV34?
Yes. Warwick and the CV34 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 Warwick?
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.
