Steel shop fronts in Devon
Steel's industrial look can divide opinion, so ask early how the local planning authority for Devon is likely to view the design.
A steel frontage needs a sound opening, so we check the lintel and fixing points on your Devon premises before any design work starts. Heavy frames need planning for delivery and lifting, so we look at road access, parking and pavement width outside your Devon shop.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Devon?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Devon, including Barnstaple, Exeter, Exmouth, Newton Abbot.
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.
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.
