Curved glass shop fronts in Wales

Bent glass needs careful handling, so deliveries across the area are planned around access and unloading rules at your Wales premises.

Curved glass shop window on a corner unit

Curved glass costs more than flat, so we can also price a faceted option for Wales owners in the area who want a similar effect. If your Wales shop sits on a corner, a curved pane can carry the display around it where the structure allows.

What do we offer in Wales?

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 Wales?

As a guide, allow £6,495 to £15,995 ex VAT for a typical frontage. An original bowed window on Wales 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 Wales?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Wales, including Aberdare, Aberystwyth, Bangor, Barry. 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.

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.

Do the same rules apply in Wales?

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