Shopfronts in Bowen
Commercial framing, reglazing and shopfront refurbishment, covering everything from a single broken pane through to a full frontage update.
Commercial Glazing For A Presentable Frontage
Shopfront work covers commercial glass and aluminium frontage, from a single damaged pane through to reframing an entire entrance. We replace glazing in existing framing, supply and install new aluminium framing and doors, and refurbish frontages where the framing has aged or the layout no longer suits the business.
Broken commercial glass is treated as urgent work: we make the opening safe, measure accurately, and get the correct glass in place so the premises can keep trading. Because fabrication is done in our own Bowen workshop, we can usually work around trading hours rather than the other way around.
Shopfront Work From Reglazing To Refurbishment
Glass selection matters more on a shopfront than almost anywhere else, because the same pane has to handle public access, weather and daily use. Laminated and toughened glass are both used where safety glass is required, and glass thickness is matched to the size of the opening and the framing it sits in.
Where a frontage is being refurbished rather than replaced, we look at what can be retained — often the framing is sound and only the glazing, hardware or seals need attention. We explain what is worth keeping and what needs replacing, so the work done is what the frontage actually needs.

Common questions
Reglazing means replacing the glass in framing that is already in place, usually after damage or a failed pane. Refurbishment goes further and addresses the framing, doors, hardware and seals as well, which suits a frontage that has aged rather than one that has simply been broken.
Often it can. If the aluminium framing is straight, sound and correctly fixed, new glass can be installed into it and hardware or seals replaced as needed. Framing is usually only replaced when it is damaged, corroded or no longer suits the entrance layout.
The choice comes down to the size of the opening, public access and where the glass sits. Safety glass, either laminated or toughened, is used where it is required, and thickness is matched to the pane size and framing so the glazing performs properly in daily use.
