What is a Shop Front?
A shop front is the exterior facing of a retail, commercial, or business property. It’s the first thing customers see, combining glass, aluminium, steel, or timber to create an inviting entrance. Shop fronts are designed not only to showcase products and services but also to provide security, durability, and weather protection.
They work by combining functional glazing systems with frames and doors, often using reinforced or insulated glass to ensure safety while allowing maximum visibility. A well-designed shop front is more than just an entry point – it represents a brand’s identity and plays a huge role in attracting footfall in high streets across Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, and London.
Why they
are useful
- Enhance curb appeal and brand image
- Provide a secure barrier against vandalism and theft
- Improve insulation and reduce energy bills
- Showcase products and invite customers inside
