ShopfrontShopfront glass replacement
Toughened and laminated safety glass measured, made and fitted to your frame.
Shopfront glass replacement means removing a broken or failed pane and fitting a new one made to the exact size of the opening. Because shopfronts sit at low level and next to doors, the replacement is normally safety glass — toughened to BS EN 12150 or laminated to BS EN 14449 — so that if it breaks again it does so safely.

What does shopfront glass replacement cover?
- Single-glazed toughened display panes
- Laminated panes for added resistance to break-ins
- Glass in aluminium and timber shop doors
- Transom, fanlight and side-screen glazing
- Misted or failed double-glazed units in modern shopfronts
How do I know I need it?
- Cracks running from a corner or edge
- Chips or star breaks from impact
- Condensation between the panes of a sealed unit
- Glass rattling in its beads or gaskets
How is the repair carried out?
We measure the opening, confirm the glass type and thickness you have now, and recommend whether to match it or upgrade. The pane is made to size, then fitted with new gaskets or beads so it sits tight and weathertight in the frame.
Questions about shopfront glass replacement
How much does shopfront glass replacement cost?
It depends mainly on the size of the pane and the glass specification. A small toughened door panel sits at the lower end of our guide range, while large laminated display panes that need several people or lifting equipment sit at the top. You get a fixed price after measuring.
What is the difference between toughened and laminated glass?
Toughened glass is heat-treated so it is several times stronger than ordinary glass and breaks into small blunt pieces. Laminated glass has a plastic interlayer that holds the pane together when broken, so the opening stays closed — which is why it is preferred for security.
How long does replacement glass take?
Toughened and laminated glass is made to order after measuring, typically within a working week or two depending on size and thickness. The opening is boarded or temporarily glazed in the meantime.
