Curved glass shop fronts in Scotland

An original bowed window on Scotland premises may be protected, so we check listed status before suggesting any change.

Curved glass shop window on a corner unit

Bent glass needs careful handling, so deliveries across the area are planned around access and unloading rules at your Scotland premises. We measure curves on site in Scotland and make a template, because a bent pane cannot be cut or adjusted once delivered.

What do we offer in Scotland?

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.
Faceted alternativeFlat panes set at angles can follow a curve at lower cost, where a true bend is not required.
Curved timber framesLaminated timber head and sill sections are useful when restoring a bowed period window.

How much does it cost in Scotland?

The guide price is £6,495 to £15,995 ex VAT for a typical frontage. If your Scotland 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 Scotland?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Scotland, including Aberdeen, Airdrie, Ayr, Bearsden. Remote areas are by arrangement.

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.

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.

Do the same rules apply in Scotland?

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