Curtain Walling in Portsmouth
Curtain Walling in Portsmouth, booked ahead as a planned project.
What we do in Portsmouth
For showrooms, office receptions and new commercial buildings in Portsmouth, 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.
Portsmouth is a long way from our Midlands base, so work there is booked as a planned project and fitted in as few trips as possible.
Shopping streets and planning in Portsmouth
Most of the city sits on Portsea Island, reached by only a few roads, so delivery timing matters. Commercial Road is the main shopping street, and Gunwharf Quays is an outlet centre with its own landlord rules.
Southsea has a lively mix of independent shops, cafés and bars along Albert Road, Marmion Road and Osborne Road, with conservation areas covering several streets.
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.
