    What is a Timber Shop Front?

    A timber shop front or wooden shop front is a type of store or office frontage made from wood.

    Timber shop fronts can be found in a variety of settings, from small local businesses to large chain stores. They offer a warm and inviting appearance that can make a business stand out from the crowd.

    There are a number of benefits to using a timber shop front, including the ability to create a unique and stylish appearance, the natural warmth of wood, and the durability of timber.

    Crafted using traditional methods, timber shop fronts often feature details that are in keeping with particular historic periods, with a more vertical focus to your shop’s design rather than the horizontal design elements seen in more modern frameless glass or aluminium shop fronts.

    Timber is a popular choice for store owners because of how highly customisable it is; from architectural details to colours and finishes, the possibilities are endless.

    Creating Character with Wooden Shop Fronts

    By choosing a timber shop front, you’re adding character to your building and contributing to the overall beauty of your neighbourhood.

    A shop front is one of the first things customers see when they walk into your business. Wooden shop fronts create an inviting appearance, adding warmth and character to your exterior premises. They also help to set your business apart in an otherwise very modern street, or fit in on a historic street.

    If your business is located in a conservation area, you may be required to use timber for your shop front in order to preserve the historical character of the area. Conservation areas are designed to protect and preserve historically significant areas, and using timber shop fronts is one way to help achieve this goal.

    Wooden shop fronts can create a sense of place, contributing to the overall appearance of an area, street, or building by maintaining consistency in the use of certain materials and styles.

    How Durable Are Timber Shop Fronts?

    Timber and wood are increasingly popular for stores who are conscious of their local communities and their impact on the environment.

    Despite what you might think, the methods of crafting a timber shop front leave you with a long-lasting, durable design that is both fire-resistant and easy to maintain – just wipe down with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking as good as new.

    Primed and finished using our carefully developed process of preserving and finishing treatments, the end result is a shop front that is easy to care for while lasting for years and years – even in the UK’s harsh weather and often persistent rain or damp.

    When kerb appeal is considered, your own business as well as the wider community will benefit from the positive economic impact – that’s why local councils love them!
