Steel shop fronts in Merseyside
A steel frontage needs a sound opening, so we check the lintel and fixing points on your Merseyside premises before any design work starts.
If your Merseyside premises sit near the coast or in a damp spot in the North West, we specify the coating or stainless grade to suit. Steel's industrial look can divide opinion, so ask early how the local planning authority for Merseyside is likely to view the design.

Which towns do you cover?
Common questions
Do you cover all of Merseyside?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Merseyside, including Bebington, Birkenhead, Bootle, Huyton.
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.
