Our Range of Commercial Aluminium Shopfronts
Aluminium is one of the most widely used materials for commercial entrance doors, and for good reason. It is robust, corrosion-resistant and capable of supporting large glazed areas without heavy frames. Our aluminium shopfront doors for sale are designed for single, double and emergency door configurations.
Low aluminium thresholds make entrances wheelchair-accessible, supporting compliance with the Equality Act 2010, and anti-finger-trap stiles and built-in thermal barriers are available across our range.
Glazed Aluminium Shopfront Doors
Our glazed aluminium shopfronts are an ideal choice for shopping centres, car showrooms, and other industry settings where natural light and visibility help attract customers. Glazing options include single, double, and triple units. Double and triple-glazed units incorporate Low-E coatings and argon gas filling to reduce heat loss and help lower energy costs over time.

Shopfront Finishes & Colour Options
The finish you choose has practical advantages beyond appearance, covering aspects of long-term durability, performance and appearance across different environments. We offer three options, each suited to different environments and brand requirements.
- Polyester powder coating: Applied in-house in single or dual colours, with standard and enhanced thickness options available for coastal or marine environments. Colours selected from the RAL range to match your brand identity.
- Anodised and Analok finishes: An electrochemical process creating a protective oxide layer integral to the aluminium surface. Supplied in satin for a clean, consistent appearance suited to high-traffic areas.
- Mill finish: This option is aluminium in its natural, uncoated state, suited to sheltered environments where a sleek, modern style is preferred. Brushed and bright aluminium are also available.
Security & Locking Systems
Our aluminium shopfronts for sale are compatible with a large range of locking options. These include standard cylinder locks, mortice locks, panic escape hardware, automatic deadlocking and electro-mechanical systems. They can be integrated with access control platforms, providing security measures that scale with your building’s needs.
These include:
- Keypads
- Key fobs
- Access cards
For areas needing greater physical resistance, we also supply steel security doors. We supply these in a range of grades, each suited to different security requirements, alongside our aluminium shopfront systems.

FAQs About Custom Aluminium Shopfronts
Here are some of the questions we are most commonly asked when specifying aluminium shopfront systems.

- Enquiry
- Estimate
- Onboarding
- Site survey
- Parts order
- Manufacture
- Delivery
- Installation
- Invoicing
If you are unsure whether your building’s size is suitable, a survey is the best starting point.
For glazed shopfront systems, we offer single, double, and triple glazing depending on your thermal and acoustic requirements. Toughened and laminated glass options are available where security is a priority.
Toughened glass shatters into small, blunt pieces rather than sharp shards; laminated glass holds together if broken, thanks to an internal interlayer. Obscured, tinted, and low-iron glass are also available to meet privacy or light transmission requirements.
Yes. Low aluminium thresholds provide level or near-level access for wheelchair users and those with mobility aids. Wide door openings allow ease of access for prams, trolleys, and mobility aids. Where hands-free access is required, our automatic door systems can be specified to suit your property, removing the need for manual operation.
