Curved glass shop fronts Kent

Bent glass needs careful handling, so deliveries across the South East are planned around access and unloading rules at your Kent premises. Curved glass costs more than flat, so we can also price a faceted option for Kent owners in the South East who want a similar effect.

What do we offer in Kent?

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.

Bent laminated glassTwo bent plies are joined with an interlayer and hold together if cracked. This suits higher-risk positions.

How much does it cost in Kent?

Budget £6,495 to £15,995 ex VAT for a typical frontage. An original bowed window on Kent premises may be protected, so we check listed status before suggesting any change. We set out every cost in writing before work starts.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Kent?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Kent, including Ashford, Canterbury, Chatham, Dartford.

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.

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.

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.
