Shopfronts & entrances
Bi-folding shopfronts
What you are buying with bi-folding shopfronts: frontages that fold fully open for cafes, bars and restaurants, made to the dimensions we take on site.
Why businesses choose it
Where the unit is in a conservation area, sections and colours are chosen with the planning officer's expectations in mind. Glass in the critical zones is safety glass as standard, toughened or laminated to suit the position. The finished frontage is sealed to the structure and checked for level, square and smooth door operation before we leave.
Why Shopfront Specialists
A frontage is the first thing a customer judges. We start with how you want the shop to look from across the street, then work back to the sections, glass and hardware that deliver it within the planning rules.
Options and specification
- Heavy-duty running gear for commercial cycles
- Leaves stack neatly to one or both sides
- Low-profile threshold when open

Questions about bi-folding shopfronts
Do you cover the whole of the Midlands?
Yes. We cover your area and the rest of the Midlands, including Birmingham, Coventry, Leicester and Nottingham.
What guarantee do I get?
Every installation comes with a written guarantee, and manufacturer warranties on hardware, motors and finishes are passed to you. The terms are set out on your quotation.
Can you match the units either side?
On a parade where the landlord wants a consistent frontage, we work to the same section profile and colour reference so the unit reads as part of the row.
What do you need from me to quote?
The address, roughly what you want, and a photo of the current frontage. Opening sizes help but are not essential, because we measure at survey anyway.
