Frameless Glass Shopfronts

About this service

Frameless Glass Shopfronts — installed by specialists, not generalists

Frameless glass is the system of choice for premium retail, hospitality, showrooms, and anywhere the design intent is to remove the barrier between street and store.

The structural calc work matters more than the install — but the install matters second. We don't bid frameless work without sight of a structural engineer's report, because load path assumptions decide whether the glass is 12mm or 15mm, patch-fitted or SSG-bonded.

Frequently asked

Frameless Glass Shopfronts install — FAQs

Are frameless glass shopfronts secure enough for retail?
Yes — but specification matters. We supply laminated glass to anti-bandit ratings P1A through P5A.
Can frameless glass be used on listed buildings?
Sometimes, but conservation officer approval is essential.
How is frameless glass replaced if it breaks?
Cassette systems allow individual panes to be unbolted. Patch-fitted glass requires panel removal and re-bonding.

12mm minimum for shopfront applications, 15mm for floor-to-ceiling without intermediate support.
