Aluminium shopfront and commercial glazing

What is shopfront glass?

Shopfront glass refers to the large glazed panels and framing systems used to create a business’s street-facing frontage, combining display space, security, and kerb appeal in one system. It typically includes toughened or laminated safety glass, along with aluminium or steel framing designed to support large panes while meeting security and building regulations.

Enhanced Kerb Appeal

Create a professional first impression with a stylish aluminium shopfront that attracts customers and improves your business' visual appeal.

Strong & Secure

Manufactured using durable aluminium frames and high-performance glazing, our shopfronts provide excellent security, strength and long-lasting reliability every day.

Bespoke to Your Business

Every aluminium shopfront is tailored to your exact requirements, ensuring a perfect fit for retail units, offices, restaurants and commercial buildings.

Bright & Energy Efficient

Large glazed panels could help let in natural light while thermally efficient glazing helps improve comfort, reduce heat loss and lower energy costs throughout the year.

FAQs

What types of glass are used in shopfronts?

What frame options are available?

Can you incorporate branding or custom designs into the glass?

Yes. Etched and sandblasted glass designs can be produced in-house, allowing you to incorporate logos, text, frosted patterns, or other branding directly into the glass panels.

This is a great way to grow your business identity without separate signage, and it can be applied to any part of the shopfront, including door panels, sidelights, or full-width display areas. Large glass exteriors are also available for businesses that want to make their window display bigger or add more natural light.

What kinds of businesses do you work with?

We’ve installed shopfront glass for a wide range of commercial premises across South London, such as retail shops, restaurants and bars, offices, gyms, hotels, showrooms, and leisure facilities.

We approach every project as a bespoke job: we work to your specific dimensions, framing requirements, and design preferences, and handle the full process from survey through installation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't recommend this company enough. They are absolutely brilliant. We had a crack in our mirrored splashback and was original told by another company that it would be a really complicated and expensive job. Found Osborn glass and they quoted 4 times less and got the job done in less than an hour! Really great communciation and would highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Osborn fitted our new front door a couple of years ago and we've been really pleased with it. But what's been even more impressive is their after sales service. Nick, the installation manager, has been brilliant with following up a minor teething problem we had and with other matters. We've recommended Osborn to friends and they've also had a similar experience to us. This is a company that in our experience does not just take the money and then leave you - they follow up and provide great customer service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was recommended to Osborne Glass by a friend and I was delighted with them .  Importantly I am thrilled with the quality of their work which has transformed my kitchen.  What set them apart though was the fantastic service from Tony and his team .  As well as doing a superb job they were all just so great to deal with . They would be my first choice on similar projects in the future .

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't recommend this company enough! I had a complex mirror repair on a wardrobe door that was chipped, and I was really worried about it. The mirror had a triangle shape with diagonal edges, and I needed it to perfectly match the other mirrors on the door. I had reached out to other companies, but most told me the job was either impossible or would cost more than the wardrobe itself.

Tony, the manager, was incredibly helpful on the phone, reassuring me that they could do the job and match the existing mirrors perfectly. He was very responsive to emails, and I really appreciated his attention to detail. The service was top-notch from start to finish. The guys who collected and delivered the door were not only professional but also super nice and kind. They even helped me mount the door back onto the wardrobe, which was a lovely touch.

The repair was flawless, and the new mirror matches the original ones perfectly. The whole experience was seamless, and I’m beyond happy with the result. The price was very reasonable for the high-quality work provided. If you need mirror repairs, these are the guys to go to! Professional, reliable, and truly skilled. Thank you, Tony and team!
