Curtain Walling in Oxford

Curtain Walling for Oxford premises, inside our regular working area.

What we do in Oxford

For showrooms, office receptions and new commercial buildings in Oxford, 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.

Oxford 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 Oxford

For listed buildings, we can work alongside your architect or heritage adviser, or prepare drawings for straightforward consents ourselves.

The historic centre is one of the most protected townscapes in England. Many buildings on Cornmarket, the High Street and Broad Street are listed, and Oxford City Council has firm expectations for shopfronts: traditional proportions, quality materials, modest signs and internal security rather than solid external shutters.

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.
