Across Smethwick, every job begins with a visit to measure the opening and the aluminium shopfronts are then made to those dimensions.
From order to fitted
Expect 3-4 weeks after drawing sign-off for manufacture. Fitting a standard Smethwick unit is normally one to two days on site. Closed-day or out-of-hours work can be arranged.
What gets fitted
Aluminium is the default for high-street retail because the sections stay slim, the powder coat can match any brand colour, and the frame will not rot, swell or warp. You can specify thermally broken or non-thermal sections to suit the unit; any RAL colour, including dual-colour frames.
