Glass Shopfronts in Leicester

Glass Shopfronts for premises across Leicester, a short drive from our base in Exhall.

What we do in Leicester

Frameless glass gives a Leicester boutique, salon or showroom the clearest possible view in. Thick toughened panes sit in slim channels, joined with clear silicone, with a matching glass door.

We cover Belgrave, Birstall, Evington and Golden Mile. If heating bills or night-time security matter, we will suggest an internal shutter or double-glazed glass to go with it.

Leicester is one of our home areas, a short drive from the yard in Exhall, so surveys, fitting days and follow-up visits are easy to arrange.

Shopping streets and planning in Leicester

Oadby and Wigston have their own borough council, separate from Leicester City Council, and Birstall falls under Charnwood. If your shop is near the city boundary, we check which council handles planning before drawings go in.

Belgrave Road, known as the Golden Mile, is famous for jewellers, sari shops and sweet centres. Shops here hold valuable stock and trade long hours, so laminated glass, strong shutters and good locks are standard requests. Fronts are often wide and fully glazed to show off window displays.

Questions people ask about glass shopfronts

Thick toughened glass is very strong, but for night-time security we recommend an internal shutter or laminated toughened glass.

Single glazing loses more heat than double. Double-glazed options exist, or we can suggest a slim framed front if heating costs matter most.

Like any window: squeegee and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive pads on the silicone joints.

We make the opening safe, then measure and order a new toughened pane to the exact size.
