Curved glass shop window on a corner unit

If your East Sussex shop sits on a corner, a curved pane can carry the display around it where the structure allows. We measure curves on site in East Sussex and make a template, because a bent pane cannot be cut or adjusted once delivered.

What do we offer in East Sussex?

Bent laminated glassTwo bent plies are joined with an interlayer and hold together if cracked. This suits higher-risk positions.
Curved timber framesLaminated timber head and sill sections are useful when restoring a bowed period window.
Bent toughened glassThe pane is heated, bent and then toughened, so it breaks safely like flat toughened glass. The glass processor sets the limits on size and radius.

How much does it cost in East Sussex?

Budget £6,495 to £15,995 ex VAT for a typical frontage. Shops across the South East with a recessed lobby can use curved panes to lead customers in, and we can draw that option for your East Sussex entrance. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of East Sussex?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across East Sussex, including Brighton, Eastbourne, Hastings, Lewes.

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.

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.

Do I need planning permission for a curved glass frontage?

Usually yes in England, as a curved front normally changes the look of the building. Replacing an original curved window like for like is different, but listed status can still require consent. Rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so we check this for your building.
