Loughborough: bi-folding shopfronts
Bi-folding shopfronts in Loughborough start from about £5,200 plus VAT for a standard opening, with a free survey and a written quotation before anything is ordered.
In Loughborough and nearby, a surveyor measures the unit before anything is priced then we put the bi-folding shopfronts price in writing.
Timescales
Lead time is typically 4-5 weeks after drawing sign-off. Fitting a standard Loughborough unit is normally one to two days on site. We can fit on a day the business is shut.
Specification notes
Folding the whole frontage back turns the glass line into open trading space, so pavement seating reads as part of the room. You can specify traffic door built into the run for daily use; heavy-duty running gear for commercial cycles.
Coverage
Loughborough falls within Leicestershire and the LE postcode area, which puts it on the same route as Coalville, Market Harborough and Leicester.
