Steel shop fronts in Norfolk
Restaurant and showroom owners in the East of England who want slim dark bars can see the grid drawn out for their Norfolk frontage before ordering.
Heavy frames need planning for delivery and lifting, so we look at road access, parking and pavement width outside your Norfolk shop. A steel frontage needs a sound opening, so we check the lintel and fixing points on your Norfolk premises before any design work starts.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Norfolk?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Norfolk, including Dereham, Great Yarmouth, King's Lynn, Norwich.
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.
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.
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.
