Common questions
Do you cover all of Greater Manchester?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Greater Manchester, including Altrincham, Ashton-under-Lyne, Bolton, Bury.
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.
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.
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.
