Shop window glass replacement in Dorset
Replacement panes for shops in Dorset and across the South West are made to measure, and we confirm the typical lead time when we give you the price.
New glass for a shop in Dorset must suit its position, so we check whether door panes and low-level panes need safety glass before ordering. A cracked pane in your Dorset shop window can often be priced from photos and rough sizes, without anyone needing to visit first.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Dorset?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Dorset, including Bournemouth, Christchurch, Dorchester, Poole.
Do I have to use safety glass in a shop window?
Yes, in many shopfront positions. Approved Document K in England treats glazing in doors, nearby side panels and low-level glazing as critical locations, and these need safety glass or protection. Rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so we check what applies to your premises.
Can I switch to stronger glass while the pane is out?
Yes, provided the frame and glazing pocket can take it. Laminated and anti-bandit glass is thicker and heavier than a standard pane, so we check the rebate, the beads and the frame first. If the frame cannot carry it, we will tell you what would need changing.
Why did my shop glass break with no impact?
Hidden edge damage and frame movement are the usual causes, and toughened glass can also fail from a tiny nickel sulphide inclusion, though that is rare. Annealed glass can crack from uneven heating when part of a pane sits in shade. We look for the cause before refitting.
