Curtain Walling in Manchester
Curtain Walling for Manchester premises, inside our regular working area.
What we do in Manchester
For showrooms, office receptions and new commercial buildings in Manchester, 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.
Manchester 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 Manchester
Our usual approach is a survey visit, drawings and a fixed price, then a fitting date planned around your trading. Large or awkward jobs are delivered and fitted in one trip where we can, so you are not waiting on a second visit.
The city centre is a patchwork of very different streets. The Northern Quarter's independent shops, bars and cafés sit in converted warehouses, and parts of it fall inside a conservation area, so frontages there are expected to suit the old buildings. Deansgate and Spinningfields lean towards large glazed fronts for national brands and restaurants, often inside a landlord's design rules.
What you get from us
The same standard on every curtain walling job, whichever town it is in.

Fire-stopping included
