Common questions

Do you cover all of County Durham?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across County Durham, including Bishop Auckland, Chester-le-Street, Consett, Darlington.

Do I need planning permission for a steel shop front?

Usually yes in England, if it materially changes the look of the building. Industrial styling can be contentious on traditional streets, so raise it early. Rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and our drawings can support an application for the council to decide.

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.
