Steel shop fronts Staffordshire

If your Staffordshire premises sit near the coast or in a damp spot in the West Midlands, 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 Staffordshire is likely to view the design.

What do we offer in Staffordshire?

Stainless steel framesStainless sections suit food premises and coastal sites, with grade 316 the usual choice near the sea.

Security-rated steelFrames and doors can be specified to PAS 24 or LPS 1175 for premises with a higher risk of attack.

Galvanised and powder coatedHot-dip galvanising to BS EN ISO 1461 followed by powder coat gives good protection on external frames.

How much does it cost in Staffordshire?

As a guide, allow £5,495 to £13,995 ex VAT for a typical frontage. Restaurant and showroom owners in the West Midlands who want slim dark bars can see the grid drawn out for their Staffordshire frontage before ordering. The price we confirm in writing includes travel and access.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Staffordshire?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Staffordshire, including Burton upon Trent, Cannock, Leek, Lichfield.

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.

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.
