Curved glass shop fronts in Essex
An original bowed window on Essex premises may be protected, so we check listed status before suggesting any change.

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.

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.
