Shopfronts & Façades

Your shopfront exterior and business entrance generate the first impressions people have of your company.  Customers are far more likely to enter your premises if it is easily accessible (both by foot and by wheelchair), clean and safe.

In today’s competitive High Street, an inviting shopfront with a clear, convenient entrance is crucial to attract and maximise potential customer footfall.

As well as creating the right image, your shopfront determines how customers first interact with your company.  Automatic doors may need to be considered, creating an accessible, touch free entrance solution.

Automatic Access manufactures and supplies complete aluminium shopfronts including windows, lighting, curtain walling and doors.

With so many types and styles of shopfront to choose from, we offer a diverse selection of professional products from the leading manufacturers enabling us to craft the most appropriate shopfront system for your building.

Our products are manufactured in powder-coated, glazed aluminium or stainless steel to suit individual requirements.

Every storefront and door is custom-made to meet your specification, style and budget, ensuring exceptional quality and reliability with every choice.

Our product range includes:

Each of our products are manufactured from aluminium extrusion which is power-coated in a variety of RAL colours and glazing options to suit the overall design of the installation.

Aluminium is an ideal material for commercial doors and shopfronts as it is lightweight but durable, making it an affordable and cost-effective long-term solution.

Our product range also includes armoured plate doors, commonly referred to as frameless glass doors or AP doors. Fabricated from toughened glass with top and bottom rails and generally specified to achieve a high-end look.

Make your experience unique with our range of available finishes

We offer a wide range of options to enhance your shopfronts, including standard RAL colours, special finishes and anodising. Whatever your preference, we’ve got you covered.

Non-thermal ground floor treatment

Aluminium is an inherently strong and rigid material making it a low maintenance choice for commercial doors, façades and entrances. 

Within interior spaces where thermal performance is not required,such as indoor shopping centres, aesthetics and frameless toughened glass systems can be considered.

For commercial stores or shopfronts where a weather rated configuration is not required, non-thermal ground treatment shopfronts offer a cost-effective choice.

Thermal ground floor treatment

Adding a thermal break to aluminium systems gives exceptional weather-proofing, thermal efficiency and U-value performance, helping to reduce building carbon footprint.

Thermally broken aluminium systems have a continuous insulated barrier (usually polyamide) between the interior and exterior frames to prevent conductive energy loss and reduce energy usage.

Slim aluminium profiles accommodate a range of glazing thicknesses and are available in a choice of finishes, including the full RAL powder coating range to ensure a perfect match with your current building interior and exterior.

Low rise curtain walling

Non-load bearing, curtain walling can be used on large expanses of the building envelope to maximise natural light entry making it ideal for retail environments.

Our curtain walling systems are produced in-house from aluminium and can combine glazed or opaque panels for strength, energy efficiency and security and can incorporate windows and doors.  

Suitable for single or multi-storey, aluminium curtain walling provides a versatile glazed façade that can be highly customised with hard-wearing finishes to match or complement your branding or aesthetic requirements.
