Curved glass shop fronts in County Durham
An original bowed window on County Durham premises may be protected, so we check listed status before suggesting any change.
Curved glass costs more than flat, so we can also price a faceted option for County Durham owners in the North East who want a similar effect. We measure curves on site in County Durham and make a template, because a bent pane cannot be cut or adjusted once delivered.

Common questions
Do you cover all of County Durham?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across County Durham, including Bishop Auckland, Chester-le-Street, Consett, Darlington.
What happens if a curved pane breaks?
It has to be remade to the same template, so replacement takes longer than for flat glass. The opening can be boarded or temporarily glazed in the meantime. Keep the template details with your insurance paperwork, and ask your insurer how long it will cover the gap.
Can curved glass be double glazed?
Yes, curved sealed units are made from two matching bent panes. They cost more and take longer than flat units, and the frame must suit the extra depth. In England, Approved Document L sets no maximum U-value for display windows, so single glazing often remains an option.
Can any glass be curved?
Most float glass can be bent, but the size, thickness and radius are limited by the process. Tight curves and large panes are the hardest. The glass processor confirms what is possible before we finalise the design, so you are not quoted for something that cannot be made.
