The shopfronts of your business are an often ignored yet key component of your overall business and brand. In essence, they serve as the “initial impression” that potential consumers have of your business. Ensuring your storefront looks tidy and inviting is key, but making sure it functions properly is even more crucial. Read on to find out what factors you should consider when installing a glass shop front.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Shopfront Design <\/strong><\/h3>\n

As mentioned, your shopfront offers the first impression of your store, business, or even office space. Glass shopfronts not only look modern and fresh but more importantly gives your business an opportunity to promote its goods or services. Take retail stores, for instance, a glass shopfront will allow your business to display new products and allow for window shopping which can be beneficial for drawing in potential customers. Glass shopfronts can also work well for restaurants or beauty salons as they have the ability to invite potential customers who are walking by to take a look at the inside environment of your business.<\/p>\n

Tip:<\/strong> Avoid excessive decals, posters, and signs on your glass shopfront. A cluttered shopfront is distracting and also blocks natural light coming into your shopfront.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Durability <\/strong><\/h3>\n

One of the most important factors of having a glass shopfront comes down to its durability. The glass you choose for your shopfront can impact many factors such as the security and safety of your shop. Toughened glass, also known as tempered glass, is\u202fup to five times stronger than\u202fstandard Float Glass\u202foffering the highest impact\u202fresistance. Toughened glass is a strong alternative that is particularly useful in the event of an accident. Toughened glass breaks into relatively large fragments rather than small, sharp pieces in the unlikely event that your store experiences a break-in or accident –\u00a0making the\u00a0clean-up easier and reducing the risk of injuries.<\/p>\n

Practicality<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Nearly everyone has had a \u201cdumb\u201d moment when they\u2019ve pushed open a door that in fact needs to be pulled \u2013 embarrassing, to say the least especially if you\u2019re with other people. This is exactly why the practicality of your glass shopfront matters. Some shop front doors will require printed instructions to operate, while others may need to remain open to better suit the flow of the store.
