Curved glass shop fronts in Northumberland
An original bowed window on Northumberland premises may be protected, so we check listed status before suggesting any change.
Curved glass costs more than flat, so we can also price a faceted option for Northumberland owners in the North East who want a similar effect. We measure curves on site in Northumberland and make a template, because a bent pane cannot be cut or adjusted once delivered.

Which towns do you cover?
Common questions
Do you cover all of Northumberland?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Northumberland, including Alnwick, Ashington, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Blyth.
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 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.
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.
