Curved glass shop fronts in Tyne and Wear

If your Tyne and Wear shop sits on a corner, a curved pane can carry the display around it where the structure allows.

Curved glass shop window on a corner unit

An original bowed window on Tyne and Wear premises may be protected, so we check listed status before suggesting any change. We measure curves on site in Tyne and Wear and make a template, because a bent pane cannot be cut or adjusted once delivered.

What do we offer in Tyne and Wear?

Faceted alternativeFlat panes set at angles can follow a curve at lower cost, where a true bend is not required.
Curved aluminium framesSections are rolled or stretch-formed to the same radius as the glass, then powder coated.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Tyne and Wear?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Tyne and Wear, including Gateshead, Hebburn, Jarrow, Newcastle upon Tyne.

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 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.

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.
