Shopfronts & entrances
Bi-folding shopfronts
Bi-folding shopfronts: frontages that fold fully open for cafes, bars and restaurants. Priced after a free site survey and fitted by our own team around your opening hours.
How it is made
Folding the whole frontage back turns the glass line into open trading space, so pavement seating reads as part of the room. Glass in the critical zones is safety glass as standard, toughened or laminated to suit the position.
Why SK Shopfronts
We spend time on the design conversation, because a small business usually only replaces its frontage once. Samples, colours and door options are talked through before anything is ordered.
Options and specification
- Heavy-duty running gear for commercial cycles
- Leaves stack neatly to one or both sides
- Low-profile threshold when open

On a parade where the landlord wants a consistent frontage, we work to the same section profile and colour reference so the unit reads as part of the row.

The address, roughly what you want, and a photo of the current frontage. Opening sizes help but are not essential, because we measure at survey anyway.
