Welcome to Redwood Shopfront
An aluminium shopfront is the premier choice for secure, durable, and visually appealing commercial entrances. At Redwood Shopfront, we design, fabricate, and install bespoke T6063 high-grade aluminium profiles. Whether you need a brand-new installation or same-day emergency repair across Greater London, we ensure compliance with BS EN 12453 safety standards.
Aluminium is one of the most practical materials for commercial shopfronts because it is strong, lightweight, corrosion-resistant, low-maintenance, and suitable for different entrance styles.
At Redwood Shopfront, every aluminium shopfront is measured and specified around your site. We can supply and install aluminium frames, commercial doors, safety glass, locks, handles, access control, automatic doors, and roller shutters where required. Unlike standard off-the-shelf systems, our aluminium shopfronts are designed around your opening, trading needs, security level, and appearance goals.
