Property & Location
This project took place at a commercial premises in North Walsham, Norfolk (NR28). The unit was being prepared for Trebles Darts, a new retail and leisure space.
Client Brief & Pain Point
The existing frontage was a roller shutter door, which was secure but lacked kerb appeal and natural light. The client needed a modern shopfront solution that would:

Flexibility for custom sizing and glazing
