Aesthetics

Glass has long been a contemporary and stylish material. Glass shop fronts offer a sleek design that grabs attention and is inviting to customers.

Plus, Bridgewater Glass creates bespoke glass shop fronts to your exact requirements. Get full control over the look and feel of your shop front by investing in bespoke glass from the industry’s best.

Easy to clean and maintain

Glass is one of the simplest materials to clean and maintain. Occasionally wiping down your shop front will eliminate any scuffs or marks and keep your shop looking good as new.

Glass is also surprisingly durable. Glass shop fronts use toughened glass, which is up to five times stronger than regular glass. Toughened glass will provide stronger protection against intruders and from the weather. In fact, glass shop fronts stand up excellently to heavy rain, snow and hail, making it suitable for shops located outdoors.

Round-the-clock advertisement

The transparency of glass gives it the unique benefit of allowing you to show off your products at all times. Even when your shop is closed, passersby will still be able to see the various products on display in your store. Many customers may stumble across an item they are looking for and return to the shop the very next day to purchase it.

Invites in natural light

Glass brings ample light into your store to make it a brighter and more welcoming place for customers. No one wants to walk around a dark and dingy building, which is why glass is the perfect solution.

Quicker to install

Interested in glass shop front installation? The good news is that it takes less time to install glass compared to timber or aluminium. This results in fewer installation expenses and a beautiful shop front in a quicker amount of time.

Cuts lighting expenses

A glass shop front will create a well lit environment that eliminates the need for artificial indoor lighting.

Bridgewater we’re recommended by a friend after we had been let down last minute by one of the larger so-called reputable companies! BWG were friendly from the outset with no pushy sales pitch, just straightforward and a good competitive price. The surveyor and follow up visits were exactly when we wanted them and we even chose the day of the installation. We have pebble dash so there was inevitable damage at the installation stage which was beautifully and professionally restored before they left. The installers were friendly, knowledgeable and thorough and followed each window install with a clean-up. It was honestly like they had never been there (apart from the lovely windows!). Needless to say we would definitely use them again and would highly recommend and we will use in the future. Other companies had told us that we needed scaffolding and that we would need to remove our shutters before the install. BWG did everything without any of that and the shutters weren’t damaged in any way. Lots of companies out there trying to take advantage of people - this company isn’t one of them! Highly recommended. Sincere thanks.

We had two broken panes of glass in our bedroom wardrobe suites, one, plain bevelled glass, the other dark tinted. Took a bit of time for them to get hold of the tinted glass, but they repaired both mirrors and now installed back in the bedrooms. they match the remaining mirrors in the suites perfectly. So pleased we used them and a definite 5 out of 5 from us.

Three of four top sections with coloured and leaded inserts had cracked or shattered over the years. Walked round the corner to Bridgewater's shop and bingo! Job arranged quickly, one window used to match the pattern and a few weeks later we have fine replacements. No mess, great friendly customer service and fair price. Many thanks.

Excellent choice of styles & colours and helpful advice. Their installer took away our old door, tidied up all the rendering & framework around the new door once installed. Very clean and professional- great service.

After the glass shattered in our skylight, some other local firms wouldn't even look at it. Bridgewater, however, sent someone out very quickly to measure up and the replacement unit was installed yesterday. Lewis and Ben were prompt, pleasant, efficient and tidy. Very happy to recommend a local business!
