Retail Shopfront Replacement & Installation, Sydney
FRANCA FITOUTS manages the removal of an existing shop front and the installation of a new glass and aluminium shopfront — built to suit an incoming retail tenant and coordinated within shopping-centre and landlord requirements.
A shopfront replacement is the physical front of a retail tenancy — glazing, aluminium framing, entry doors and the finishes around them — rather than the interior fitout itself. When a retailer takes over a tenancy, particularly within a shopping centre, the existing shopfront often needs to be removed and a new shopfront built to suit the incoming tenant and the centre's design requirements.
FRANCA FITOUTS manages this as a complete scope of work — from demolition of the existing shopfront through to installation of the new glass and aluminium shopfront system — coordinated as its own project or as part of a complete retail fitout.
What's Included
- Removal and demolition of the existing shopfront, glazing and framing
- New aluminium and glass shopfront systems, supplied and installed
- New entry doors and door hardware
- Shopfront framing, glazing and finish coordination
- Coordination with shopping-centre design and fitout requirements

Shopping Centre Tenancies
Built to Suit Shopping-Centre Requirements
Shopfront replacement within a shopping centre carries its own requirements — centre design guidelines, landlord approvals, out-of-hours works and a program that fits around the centre's own construction windows. FRANCA FITOUTS coordinates shopfront demolition and replacement within these requirements, alongside the retail fitout and retail joinery — counters, shelving and display fixtures — for the completed store.

Common Questions
Shopfront Replacement Sydney — FAQ
Can you replace an existing shopfront?
Yes. FRANCA FITOUTS manages full shopfront replacement — removing and demolishing the existing shopfront, glazing and framing, then installing a new aluminium and glass shopfront system to suit the incoming tenant.
Do you install glass and aluminium shopfronts?
Yes. New shopfronts are supplied and installed using aluminium framing and glass glazing systems, along with new entry doors, coordinated to suit the tenancy and any shopping-centre design requirements.
Can you remove an old shopfront and install a new one?
Yes. Shopfront demolition and replacement is managed as one project — removing the existing shopfront and framing, then installing the new glass and aluminium shopfront system and entry doors.
Do you work on shopfronts within shopping centres?
Yes. FRANCA FITOUTS coordinates shopfront replacement within shopping-centre tenancies, working to the design, approval and construction requirements that centre management and landlords typically require.
Is a shopfront replacement the same as a retail fit-out?
No — a shopfront replacement is the physical front and façade of the tenancy (glazing, aluminium framing and entry doors), while a retail fit-out is the complete interior build. FRANCA FITOUTS delivers shopfront replacement as a standalone scope or coordinated as part of a complete retail fit-out — see our retail fitouts page for the full scope.
Do you handle signage as part of a shopfront replacement?
Shopfront replacement covers the structural glazing, framing and entry doors; signage zones are coordinated within the shopfront design, with signage itself typically supplied by a specialist signage contractor as part of the wider project.
Can a new shopfront be coordinated with a full retail fitout?
Yes. Shopfront replacement is commonly delivered as part of a complete retail fitout, alongside retail joinery such as counters, shelving and display fixtures — sequenced as one project rather than separate scopes.
What areas of Sydney do you install shopfronts in?
