Shopfronts & entrances
Frameless glass shopfronts
Put simply, frameless glass shopfronts are structural toughened glass with minimal visible framing, measured on site and installed by one team from survey to sign-off.
How it is made
Glass in the critical zones is safety glass as standard, toughened or laminated to suit the position. The finished frontage is sealed to the structure and checked for level, square and smooth door operation before we leave. Where the unit is in a conservation area, sections and colours are chosen with the planning officer's expectations in mind.
Our approach
A frontage is the first thing a customer judges. We start with how you want the shop to look from across the street, then work back to the sections, glass and hardware that deliver it within the planning rules.
Options and specification
- Glass doors on floor springs
- Manifestation to meet visibility guidance
- 12mm or 15mm toughened glass
How much do frameless glass shopfronts cost?
Budget from £4,200 plus VAT as a starting point. Size, specification and strip-out decide the exact number. Once issued, the price is fixed for 90 days unless the specification changes.
How long does it take?
Allow 4-5 weeks after drawing sign-off from drawings to delivery. Installation in your is usually a day or two once everything is made. Early starts and closed-day fitting are both possible.

Lead time for frameless glass shopfronts is typically 4-5 weeks after drawing sign-off. Installation itself is usually one to two days on site for a standard unit.
Can you work outside trading hours?
Yes, work can be arranged for a closed day or outside trading hours where the business cannot close. We agree it with you when booking.
Is the survey free?
Yes. The survey is free and carries no obligation to go ahead.
