Toughened Glass Shop Front Services
Vandalism remains a concern for high street businesses, especially in busy town centres and cities. But a damaged shop front doesn’t just mean downtime – it means costly repairs, lost sales, and a tarnished brand image. This is where a durable, toughened glass shop front can help.
Our glass shop fronts are often fitted with a frameless design, so you get a minimalist and uncluttered storefront without aluminium railings, mullions, or door styles. We also offer a glass replacement service, with expert technicians available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, to ensure your property is safe and secure at all times.
1. Durability
Toughened glass is designed to withstand wind pressure as well as being scratch-resistant and shatter-proof. Standard glass is often used in less-demanding conditions; we sometimes use standard glass in our glass partitioning for offices, unless a higher level of security or safety is required.
2. Easy to clean
Our toughened glass has a scratch-resistant surface that is easy to clean and maintain. This makes keeping your glass shop front easy to maintain, enhancing its visual appeal for potential customers and preserving your brand’s identity.
3. Natural lighting
Glass shot fronts and windows are able to improve natural lighting and give your brand a larger canvas for visual merchandising. This may help provoke interest and increase that all-important foot traffic to your store.
4. Thermal efficiency
Standard glass is not very thermally efficient, unlike toughened glass, which can actually improve the thermal efficiency of your store. Not only is this kinder on our environment, but it could also save you precious cash in the long run.
5. Visual appeal
Glass is a popular material for shop front glazing because it is both strong and visually appealing. With a contemporary design that is sure to catch the eye, our toughened glass shop fronts create the ideal way to showcase your business on the high street.
6. Preserve security
Our glass shop fronts are renowned for being shatter-proof and secure, improving your building’s safety. Our bespoke toughened glass shop fronts are made from high-quality materials and crafted in the UK by expert glaziers so they meet your exact specifications.

Toughened Glass Shop Front FAQs
Here we’ve addressed some of our customers’ most commonly asked questions. If you have another query, please get in touch with us.
How thick is toughened glass?
Toughened glass is much thicker than standard glass, and has a thickness of 12mm, making it perfect for security.
How is toughened glass made?
Our toughened glass manufacturers heat standard glass to a high temperature and rapidly cool it to create the final, durable product.
How is toughened glass maintained?
Fortunately, maintaining toughened glass is relatively easy because it is strong and durable. It can be maintained with regular cleaning with water and soap, avoiding harsh chemicals that could affect the surface. Keep an eye out for chips or edge damage and treat them as necessary before the glass’ strength is compromised. Occasional professional inspects could also ensure long-term safety.
How can I keep a toughened glass shop front secure?
For an extra layer of security when your shop is closed, check out our range of shutters; we offer solid roller shutters as well as perforated or punched hole shutters, with materials including aluminium and polycarbonate.
