Curved glass shop fronts Essex

If your Essex shop sits on a corner, a curved pane can carry the display around it where the structure allows. Shops across the East of England with a recessed lobby can use curved panes to lead customers in, and we can draw that option for your Essex entrance.

What do we offer in Essex?

Faceted alternativeFlat panes set at angles can follow a curve at lower cost, where a true bend is not required.

Curved double-glazed unitsTwo curved panes form a sealed unit for heated premises, at a higher price and with a longer lead time.

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 Essex?

The guide price is £6,495 to £15,995 ex VAT for a typical frontage. Bent glass needs careful handling, so deliveries across the East of England are planned around access and unloading rules at your Essex premises. The price we confirm in writing includes travel and access.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Essex?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Essex, including Basildon, Billericay, Braintree, Brentwood.

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.

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.

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.
