Types of glass facades
At 360 GSS, we design and install a wide range of glass facades tailored to commercial, retail, and architectural applications.
Our frameless glass facades deliver a flawless, minimalist aesthetic ideal for modern buildings and showrooms, maximising natural light and uninterrupted views. For projects requiring enhanced strength or defined lines, our framed glass facades incorporate precision-engineered aluminium or steel profiles for both stability and visual contrast.
We also specialise in curved glass facades, created through advanced bending and lamination processes for a flawless finish. These are perfect for atriums, hotel entrances, and high-end commercial spaces where form and flow are equally important.
Store Front Glass Facades
Your shop front is often the first impression of your brand, and our store front glass facades make it unforgettable. We design and install high-clarity, secure glass frontages that attract attention and create a sense of openness while meeting all safety and security standards.
Whether for retail, hospitality, or showrooms, our shop front systems combine durability with design flexibility. From single-pane installations to full structural glazing, each project is customised to your branding, signage and lighting layout for maximum visual impact.
Our team manages every stage from consultation and design to installation and final inspection, ensuring your glass facade not only looks exceptional but performs flawlessly for years to come.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a glass facade?
A glass facade is the exterior glass covering of a building, often made from toughened and laminated panels supported by structural framing. It provides natural light, visibility, and a modern architectural finish while maintaining energy efficiency and weather protection.
Are glass facades safe?
Yes. Glass facades are built using toughened or laminated safety glass that meets British Standards BS 6262, designed to withstand wind pressure, impact, and thermal expansion. When installed professionally, they are extremely safe and durable.
How long do glass facades last?
With proper installation and maintenance, a glass facade can last 25–40 years. The longevity depends on environmental exposure, sealant quality, and maintenance frequency.
Are glass facades energy efficient?
Modern glass facades can significantly improve energy efficiency. Low-E coatings, double glazing, and thermally broken frames reduce heat loss and solar gain, helping maintain comfortable internal temperatures year-round.
What’s the difference between a glass facade & curtain walling?
A glass facade is generally the visible glass exterior of a building, while curtain walling is the structural system that supports it. Curtain walls often form part of the facade on high-rise or commercial buildings.
Can glass facades be curved?
Yes, curved glass facades are achievable through precision manufacturing that bends the glass to specific radii. They’re commonly used in hotels, showrooms, and commercial entrances for visual impact and smooth architectural flow.
Can glass facades be used in residential buildings?
Absolutely. Glass facades are increasingly popular in modern homes, particularly for rear extensions, stairwells, and garden-facing walls to maximise light and create a contemporary aesthetic.
What are shop front glass systems?
Shop front glass systems are glazed panels and doors installed at the front of retail or commercial spaces. They enhance visibility, provide security, and create an open, welcoming impression for customers.
Are shop front glass systems secure?
Yes. High-quality shop front glass uses toughened or laminated glass, often paired with security glazing films, reinforced frames, and anti-theft locks to meet insurance and safety requirements.
Do glass facades need regular maintenance?
Routine cleaning and occasional seal checks are recommended. Annual inspections help identify wear, failed seals, or alignment issues early, ensuring long-term clarity and performance.
Can glass facades be retrofitted to existing buildings?
Yes. Many older buildings can be upgraded with new glass facades or shopfronts, improving both appearance and energy performance without major structural changes.
Are glass facades soundproof?
Standard facades reduce noise to a degree, but acoustic laminated glass provides enhanced sound insulation. This is ideal for properties near roads, airports, or busy urban areas.
How much do glass facades or shopfronts cost?
Costs vary depending on glass type, size, framing system, and design complexity. Factors like curved panels, acoustic or fire-resistant glass, and decorative finishes all affect pricing. A detailed quote is always provided after a site assessment.
Do glass facades require planning permission?
In most cases, replacing an existing facade or shop front with similar materials doesn’t require planning permission. However, listed buildings or major external changes may need approval from the local planning authority.
How do I choose the right glass facade installer?
Look for installers with proven experience, GGF or FENSA membership, and evidence of structural compliance and warranty support. Reading reviews, requesting case studies, and ensuring full insurance coverage will help you choose a trusted professional.
