Steel shop fronts in Bristol and Avon
Steel's industrial look can divide opinion, so ask early how the local planning authority for Bristol and Avon is likely to view the design.
A steel frontage needs a sound opening, so we check the lintel and fixing points on your Bristol and Avon premises before any design work starts. We treat every steel job in the South West as a one-off, so your Bristol and Avon frontage is made to measured sizes and not stock lengths.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Bristol and Avon?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Bristol and Avon, including Bristol.
Will a steel shop front rust?
Not if it is protected and looked after. External mild steel should be galvanised and powder coated, and any chips should be repaired before water reaches the metal. Near the sea, ask about grade 316 stainless, which copes better with salt, and rinse it down regularly.
Is a steel shop front better for security?
It can be, but only if the whole assembly is designed for it. Frame, glass, hinges and locks all have to work together. Tested products to PAS 24 or LPS 1175 show how a doorset performs, while a steel frame with ordinary glass adds very little.
Is steel stronger than aluminium for a shop front?
Yes, steel is much stiffer and stronger for the same section size. That allows slimmer bars over a given span, or taller glazing. The trade-off is weight: steel frames need stronger fixings, a solid opening and more people to lift them into place.
