The service in context.

MBE provides aluminium shop fronts as complete commercial frontage packages, bringing glazing, framing and entrance requirements into one coordinated scope.

Each frontage is shaped by its opening, use, landlord or planning requirements, door arrangement and surrounding construction. Survey and approved project information are important before manufacture.

Where this service may fit.

These are useful starting points, not a claim that one standard solution suits every building. Suitability depends on the project brief and approved technical information.

  3. A.03Replacement and refurbishment of existing shop fronts

One accountable project route.

MBE supports the route from initial enquiry and estimating through technical design, manufacture and completed installation. The precise stages depend on the agreed scope.

  1. 01

    Enquiry & estimating

    MBE reviews the available drawings, schedules and brief to establish the scope needed for an estimate.

  2. 02

    Technical design

    Project requirements and interfaces are coordinated before information is released for manufacture.

  3. 03

    Manufacture

    Agreed components are prepared through MBE's manufacturing service for the approved project scope.

  4. 04

    Installation & completion

    Installation is planned with the project team and carried through to the completion of the agreed works.

Start with the project requirements.

System selection, performance values, finishes and supporting documentation are confirmed against the requirements of each project.

For a useful project-specific response, include the following with your enquiry:

  • Opening dimensions, survey information and frontage layout
  • Entrance, glazing and framing requirements
  • Signage zones, finishes and adjacent construction interfaces
  • Site access, protection and installation constraints
