Benefits of Frameless Shop Fronts
A frameless glass shop front is an investment. When you choose frameless glass shop fronts, you are also choosing a range of benefits:
Security
At London Shop Fronts, the durability of our designs is a key priority. For this reason, we take pride in selecting and working with premium-grade materials that are designed to last, including toughened glass. This means you can trust our frameless glass shop fronts to withstand the elements and provide long-lasting security for your commercial premises.
Visual appeal
Frameless glass can provide your shop front with a clean, contemporary look, enhancing the overall aesthetic of your shop. Without any bulky frames spoiling the view, customers can take in your displays from the high street, potentially increasing foot traffic.
Natural light
Frameless glass can enable more natural light to flow freely into the space, generating a more welcoming and vibrant atmosphere. Moreover, natural light can reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day, effectively lowering energy costs and benefiting the environment.
Improved customer experience
A clear, open shop front can create a seamless transition from the street into your shop, making it feel more inviting for potential customers. Additionally, enhanced visibility means product displays are more likely to catch the eye of passersby.
Customisation
Our team can customise your frameless glass to suit your specific requirements, including size, thickness, and even type, ranging from clear to frosted options. Glass surfaces are also ideal for incorporating logos and other graphics without compromising transparency. This means we’re always putting our best foot forward when it comes to aligning with our clients’ needs.
Low maintenance
Frameless glass shop fronts are easy to clean, with no bulky frames or crevices where dirt and dust typically build up.

How Are Frameless Glass Shop Fronts Different?
Is a frameless glass or a traditional shop front right for your business? Don’t forget to weigh up the comparison below before making your investment.
- Design – Frameless shop fronts are constructed using toughened or laminated glass panels, eliminating visible metal frames to offer a minimalist, open, and transparent appearance. On the other hand, traditional shop fronts typically consist of visibly prominent aluminium or timber frames, creating defined sections for clients requiring classic detailing or added character.
- Installation – While frameless shop fronts require precise installation with accurate alignment, the installation process is generally quicker once the glass has been fabricated. Frame installation typically precedes glass insertion, making the process more modular but lengthier.
- Glass thickness – Frameless shop front options typically utilise thicker glass than traditional shop fronts to compensate for the lack of structural framing. Glass can be toughened or laminated for additional strength and security.
- Cost – While frameless shop front options are usually more expensive upfront due to custom glass, fittings, and specialist installation, they can offer long-term value by enhancing curb appeal and natural lighting. Those seeking a more budget-friendly and easily repairable option may be drawn to traditional shop fronts.
How Much Does a Frameless Shop Front Cost?
The cost of our frameless glass door shop fronts varies with each client’s individual needs. While it is generally higher than that of traditional framed systems, you can expect superior materials and precision installation with our frameless designs. Frameless shop fronts rely on high-grade toughened or laminated glass to provide the necessary structural integrity in the absence of supporting frames. This, along with the minimalist fittings and custom-cut panels, further contributes to the overall price.
