Replacing windows in clubs and bars
Shops and bars have one purpose: to attract and retain customers. Everything about the premises needs to be clean, modern and inviting. These premises also have the challenge of getting people through the door, even when weather is poor, and the doors and windows have to stay firmly closed.
At Hamiltons, we’ve helped hundreds of shops and bars to replace their windows and doors. There are certain types of products that work well to entice customers and make a good impression. If you own a retail premises, read on.
Café Windows
More and more cafes are expanding onto the street in order to maximise seating. On warm days, that introduces a challenge: how do you link the inside and outside effectively?
For many café owners, bifold doors are the obvious solution. In colder weather, they give your customers a great view of the inside of your premises. And in warmer weather, you can throw the doors open and make the people outside feel part of the action.
Bifold doors are incredibly secure, with multipoint locks and double-glazed windows. Opt for cost-effective uPVC in a range of colours, or invest in upmarket, slimline aluminium bifolding doors.
Shop Windows
For many retail outlets, the window display is a key marketing tool. Some retailers even have unveiling ceremonies for their seasonal window arrangements. It’s no surprise that having big, beautiful windows helps to sell what’s inside, as well as making your store look more inviting.
To make the most of a visual merchandising strategy, opt for the largest windows you can, with the slimmest possible frames. Aluminium is a natural choice, since it can be powder coated in a wide range of colours, yet offers a wide expanse of glass compared to the width of the frames.
In fact, if you have floor to ceiling windows, you can use the frames as a structural element in your shop window display.
Open and Inviting
Whatever style of window you go for, windows are key to illuminating the inside of a retail space. Passing shoppers are more likely to step inside if they can see what’s on offer; small, dirty and worn out windows can make a store look unloved and neglected.
Over time, windows in a café or shop can take a lot of punishment – far more than windows in a domestic property. If you suspect it’s time for an upgrade, speak to the specialists without delay.
