Aluminium shopfronts in South Kensington

The housing in South Kensington is largely stucco terraces, red-brick mansion blocks and converted period flats. Shops in converted Victorian terraces often have historic pilasters and fascias, and keeping those features while replacing the glazed frames can help with planning.

For shops below flats, coordinate shopfront works with the freeholder and residents, particularly where the frontage includes or protects a shared residential entrance. In conservation areas, councils often publish shopfront design guides covering materials, colours and signage, so check these before choosing frame profiles and finishes.

Where a building is listed, or the freeholder insists on keeping the original sashes, secondary glazing fitted inside the existing frames is usually the sensible answer, and it also helps with noise from Cromwell Road. We talk to managing agents about access, consent and parking bay suspensions before we fix a fitting date.

We design, manufacture and install aluminium shopfronts for shops, cafés, restaurants, offices and salons, combining large glazed areas with strong, slim frames. They suit businesses opening new premises or replacing tired frontages, and landlords wanting a durable, low-maintenance front that displays goods and interiors clearly.
