Curtain Walling in Chester
Curtain Walling for Chester premises, inside our regular working area.
What we do in Chester
For showrooms, office receptions and new commercial buildings in Chester, curtain walling gives floor-to-ceiling glass across wide spans.
We work from your building drawings and structural information, so frames and fixings suit the loads at your site, with fire-stopping at floor edges where it is needed.
Chester is inside our regular working area, roughly within 100 miles of Birmingham, so we can survey, fit and come back for adjustments without long waits.
Shopping streets and planning in Chester
Industrial and trade units on the city's edge also need roller doors and security doors, which we supply and service.
The Rows are unique: two levels of shops along Eastgate, Watergate, Northgate and Bridge Streets, with covered walkways at first-floor level. They date back to medieval times, and almost all of the buildings are listed. Any change to a shopfront on the Rows needs listed building consent and very careful design.
What you get from us
The same standard on every curtain walling job, whichever town it is in.
Large glazed areas
Floor-to-ceiling glass across wide spans, ideal for showrooms and receptions.
Designed for the site
Frames are sized for the wind load and fixings at your building, not chosen from a brochure.
Doors and vents built in
Entrance doors and opening windows sit in the same grid for a clean finish.
Fire-stopping included
Gaps at floor edges are sealed so the facade does not become a route for fire.
