Curtain Walling in York
Curtain Walling in York, booked ahead as a planned project.
What we do in York
For showrooms, office receptions and new commercial buildings in York, 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.
York 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 York
Narrow streets and pedestrian zones mean deliveries need careful timing, often early in the morning, which we plan into the programme.
Inside the city walls, almost every shopping street is historic. The Shambles, Stonegate, Petergate and Fossgate are lined with timber-framed and Georgian buildings, many of them listed. The City of York Council expects shopfronts in the centre to be traditional, with modest signs and security kept behind the glass.
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.
