Curved glass shop fronts in Dorset
An original bowed window on Dorset premises may be protected, so we check listed status before suggesting any change.
If your Dorset shop sits on a corner, a curved pane can carry the display around it where the structure allows. Shops across the South West with a recessed lobby can use curved panes to lead customers in, and we can draw that option for your Dorset entrance.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Dorset?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Dorset, including Bournemouth, Christchurch, Dorchester, Poole.
Is a curved front a good fit for a corner unit?
Yes, a curved corner removes the upright post and lets the display wrap around, which suits buildings with two street faces. The corner must be checked first, as the post may be carrying load. We confirm that at survey and involve a structural engineer if needed.
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.
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.
