Curved glass shop fronts in Greater Manchester

We measure curves on site in Greater Manchester and make a template, because a bent pane cannot be cut or adjusted once delivered.

Curved glass shop window on a corner unit

An original bowed window on Greater Manchester premises may be protected, so we check listed status before suggesting any change. Shops across the North West with a recessed lobby can use curved panes to lead customers in, and we can draw that option for your Greater Manchester entrance.

What do we offer in Greater Manchester?

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.
Curved aluminium framesSections are rolled or stretch-formed to the same radius as the glass, then powder coated.

How much does it cost in Greater Manchester?

As a guide, allow £6,495 to £15,995 ex VAT for a typical frontage. Bent glass needs careful handling, so deliveries across the North West are planned around access and unloading rules at your Greater Manchester premises. We set out every cost in writing before work starts.

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of Greater Manchester?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Greater Manchester, including Altrincham, Ashton-under-Lyne, Bolton, Bury.

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.

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.
