Curved glass shop fronts in Northern Ireland

Curved glass costs more than flat, so we can also price a faceted option for Northern Ireland owners in the area who want a similar effect.

Curved glass shop window on a corner unit

We measure curves on site in Northern Ireland and make a template, because a bent pane cannot be cut or adjusted once delivered. Shops across the area with a recessed lobby can use curved panes to lead customers in, and we can draw that option for your Northern Ireland entrance.

What do we offer in Northern Ireland?

Curved timber framesLaminated timber head and sill sections are useful when restoring a bowed period window.
Curved aluminium framesSections are rolled or stretch-formed to the same radius as the glass, then powder coated.
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 Northern Ireland?

Budget £6,495 to £15,995 ex VAT for a typical frontage. If your Northern Ireland shop sits on a corner, a curved pane can carry the display around it where the structure allows. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of Northern Ireland?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Northern Ireland, including Antrim, Armagh, Ballymena, Bangor, County Down. Remote areas are by arrangement.

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.

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.

Do the same rules apply in Northern Ireland?

Rules differ in Northern Ireland, so we confirm what applies to your premises before work starts.
