About the project
HB fabricated two shopfronts for Browns, in Sheffield and Harrogate, produced on a quick turnaround. The photograph shows one of them: a dark-framed jewellery shopfront with display windows and a central entrance.
For high-street retailers, the time between removing an old frontage and securing the new one is often the main concern. Fabricating in Leeds before going to site helps keep that period short.
Delivery considerations
General points that apply to this type of work.
- A short programme depends on accurate site measurements and agreed details before fabrication starts.
- Jewellery retail places weight on security and on how displays are presented behind the glass.
