Accessibility At Forefront For Mobility Shopfront

Fentrade has delivered a white aluminium shopfront for a showroom in Haverfordwest.

The refurbishment of a specialist mobility aid showroom has benefited from a commercial shopfront system with high-security doors manufactured and supplied by Fentrade Aluminium.

Working with Fentrade’s trade customer, Gardinia (West Wales), the original showroom in Haverfordwest in Wales had been fitted with standard entrance doors which were no longer fit for purpose.

The commercial shopfront and new doors were specified to meet the specialist needs of the retailer.  This included a low-level ramped threshold to facilitate ease of access, ‘hold open’ concealed door closers to minimise user effort when entering and existing the premises and hook-lock deadlocks for additional door security.

The shopfront and commercial doors were manufactured in Fentrad's non-thermal shopfront system in white aluminium which maximises the glazed area and offers a combination of design flexibility and cost efficiency.

 

 “Replacing the shopfront in white aluminium gave the showroom a more stable and solid entrance whilst not looking out of place with the existing white PVC-U windows which were being retained in the property”

– Chris Reeks 

Director, Fentrade

 

Exacting demands

The expertise of the Fentrade team meant that they were able to manufacture the products quickly and efficiently. Reeks continues: “This project was a great opportunity to demonstrate our ability to manufacture commercial shopfronts to exacting demands.”

Based in Newport, South Wales, Fentrade manufactures and supplies direct to the trade and commercial markets and offer a comprehensive range of windows, doors, curtain walling and shopfronts all manufactured in accordance to industry specifications from their modern factory facility.
