Benefits of Timber Shop Fronts
There are a number of benefits to using a timber shop front, such as:
- Visual appeal
By choosing a timber shop front, you’re adding character to your building and contributing to the overall beauty of your neighbourhood. With a timber shop front, you can create a unique and stylish appearance which could appeal to prospective customers and increase that much-needed foot traffic to your shop.
A 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.
- Potential cost savings
Timber offers a fantastic level of durability, which works to enhance your shop’s security. As it is long-lasting, this could save you more money in the long run with less chance of needing replacements. Furthermore, the natural warmth of wood could help your business save on costs during the cooler months.
- Historical designs
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.
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.
- Customisability
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.

Timber and wood are increasingly popular for stores that are conscious of their local communities and their impact on the environment. Stand out from the competition and draw in eco-conscious consumers today.
