Shop Front Retail Hoardings
What are Shop Front Retail Hoardings?
Shop front retail hoardings are freestanding hoardings that are used by retailers to create an enclosure and barrier around units during refurbishment or construction projects.
When are Shop Front Retail Hoardings required?
Shop front retail hoardings are of vital importance when work is being carried out, particularly in busy city centres, shopping centres or any areas with heavy foot traffic.
The primary use of shop front retail hoardings is to create a safe area around a building in which construction works are being carried out. They ensure that access to a site is restricted to authorised persons only, protecting the public and also creating an extended working area for onsite operatives.
What is the process for designing and installing Shop Front Retail Hoardings?
- Working alongside your construction team, measuring the size of the space available is a valuable starting point. As well as considering the size of the retail unit, it is also important to consider the external road or pavement space
- Designs are presented for approval, providing insights on the materials that are available and the necessary structures to ensure their safety for the duration of the project
- Considering any local council regulations and approval times is vital at this stage to ensure the designs are in line with such guidelines and avoid costly delays to your project
- Ahead of the commencement of your construction project, the shop front retail hoardings can be installed and built on location, fitting in with your timelines
- Following completion of the project, the shop front retail hoardings will be deconstructed at a safe time, removing all materials to allow the next stage of your retail project to commence
How else can Shop Front Retail Hoardings be used?
In addition to adding an important level of safety for local footfall during construction projects, shop front retail hoardings can be utilised to provide additional benefits to the business undergoing works.
When space may be limited on a construction site, shop front retail hoardings can provide operatives with extended space outside of the unit that can prove useful for materials and equipment storage. Such space can often be valuable in allowing skips to be delivered, closely located to the site, ensuring the continued efficiency of the project.
Aside from the construction itself, your shop front retail hoardings can be used as advertising space, covering them with creative vinyl to support the upcoming opening or to direct potential customers to operating processes during the works. With high footfall in busy urban areas, this can prove to be an inexpensive alternative to costly advertising spend.
