Your shopfront is the first impression every customer forms of your business. At Range Shop Fronts, we design and install bespoke toughened and frameless glass shopfronts across London and the UK — helping high-street retailers, restaurants, salons, showrooms, and commercial premises create a striking, light-filled entrance that draws customers in.
From sleek frameless all-glass systems to framed toughened glass solutions, laminated security glass, fire-rated glazing, and frosted privacy options — every glass shopfront we install is tailored to your brand, your building, and your budget. We work with independent businesses and national brands alike, delivering each project from free site survey through to professional installation and aftercare.
Typical installed costs range from £1,500 for smaller replacements to £8,000+ for larger framed or high-security frameless systems. Every quote is itemised and free — with our price match guarantee ensuring you get the most competitive rate.

We provide a full range of glass shopfront systems to match your security needs, trading style, building layout, and brand appearance — all custom-made to your exact measurements.
Floor-to-ceiling glass panels with minimal visible hardware — the premium choice for boutiques, salons, showrooms, offices, and restaurants wanting a clean, open, light-filled entrance. Supported by patch fittings and overhead rails for a sleek, contemporary aesthetic.
Toughened glass panels set within slim aluminium frames — the practical choice for high-street retail units. Combines the clarity and appeal of glass with the structural strength of aluminium framing. Available single or double-glazed, in any powder-coated colour.
A PVB interlayer bonded between two glass panes keeps the panel intact when struck — fragments stick to the interlayer rather than falling or shattering. Ideal for high-risk locations, insurance requirements, and premises needing enhanced anti-smash protection.
Pyro-ceramic fire-resistant glass provides integrity (E) and insulation (EI) ratings, preventing the spread of fire and smoke through your shopfront. Required in certain commercial premises under Building Regulations Part B. Specified and installed to comply with current fire safety standards.
Frosted, acid-etched, sandblasted, or solar-control tinted glass adds privacy, reduces glare, and creates a branded appearance without sacrificing the glass aesthetic. Solar-control tinting reduces UV transmission by up to 99%, protecting merchandise from fading.
Double-glazed units (DGU) in glass shopfronts significantly improve thermal performance and reduce heat loss — cutting energy bills and keeping your premises comfortable year-round. Available with thermally broken frames and low-E glass coatings for maximum energy efficiency.
Glass is the material of choice for businesses that want maximum visibility, natural light, and a premium first impression. Here's why thousands of UK businesses choose glass for their shopfronts.
Glass shopfronts flood your premises with natural light — creating a bright, welcoming interior that feels larger, more inviting, and more pleasant for customers. Studies consistently show that daylit retail spaces experience higher footfall and dwell time than artificially lit ones.
A glass shopfront is your 24/7 display window. Passersby can see your products, interior, menus, and branding from the street — turning every pedestrian into a potential customer and delivering constant, free advertising around the clock.
Nothing communicates quality and modernity quite like a sleek, well-installed glass shopfront. The clean lines and transparent panels create a premium first impression that elevates your brand, signals professionalism, and helps you stand out on even the busiest high streets.
Toughened glass is 4–5x stronger than standard glass and, when broken, shatters into small blunt pebbles rather than sharp shards. Laminated security glass holds together when struck. Combined with quality locks and hardware, modern glass shopfronts provide excellent protection for your premises.
Toughened glass doesn't rust, corrode, warp, or need repainting. A periodic clean with mild soapy water and a squeegee is all it takes to keep your shopfront immaculate. Annual hardware checks ensure doors and fittings operate smoothly for years without major maintenance costs.
Every glass shopfront is made to measure for your specific opening. Choose frameless or framed, clear or tinted, single or double-glazed, manual or automatic doors, and hardware finishes in satin stainless steel, polished chrome, or powder-coated to any RAL colour — the design possibilities are virtually limitless.
From small independent retailers to multi-site commercial operators — we design and install glass shopfronts for businesses of every size and sector across London and the UK.
Each business type needs a different balance of visibility, privacy, access, and security. Our surveyors will recommend the right glass system for your specific use case during the free site visit.

The right door system completes your glass shopfront. We install all main commercial glass door types:
All-glass doors with patch hardware at top & bottom — the most popular choice for frameless systems. Available single or double-leaf with multi-point locking. Gives the purest glass aesthetic.
Top-hung sliding panels for wide entrances — ideal for high-footfall retail, cafés, and showrooms. Space-efficient with no swing arc required. Manual or automatic sensor-operated.
Two or more glass panels that fold away to create a fully open frontage — perfect for restaurants, bars, and showrooms wanting to connect the indoor and outdoor environment in warmer months.
Motion or radar-activated automatic sliding or swing doors — ideal for high-footfall environments, accessibility compliance, and premises where hands-free entry is required.
We've earned our reputation by consistently delivering quality installations, honest advice, and service that continues long after the job is done.
