Welcome to Redwood Shopfront
Aluminium shopfront is a durable, corrosion-resistant commercial entrance system made from high-grade aluminium frames and toughened glass. In London, these are the ideal choice for retail security due to their low maintenance, RAL color customization, and ability to meet BS EN 12453 safety standards.
Opening a new store or replacing an old frontage, aluminium is the premier choice for secure, visually appealing shopfronts.
At Redwood Shopfront, we specialize in bespoke aluminium shopfront installations, providing a seamless end-to-end service, from custom design and in-house fabrication to precision fitting and post-installation care.
We pride ourselves on a tailored approach: we never force standard frames into awkward openings. Instead, every system is engineered to fit your specific dimensions perfectly.
Our rigorous quality control ensures that every door, piece of hardware, and glazing unit is fully tested for performance before we hand over a finished, ready-to-use shopfront.
If you want a modern, professional look with reliable security and realistic pricing, aluminium shopfronts are usually the best value over time.
