How your shop appears at first glance is important to gaining and retaining customers. While it’s an investment, upgrading your shop front and its glass can revolutionise your business. Here are three signs that you’re due a shop front glass replacement.

Dated Appearance

A shopfront should be an appealing and inviting space to those who see it. To achieve that, you need to do more than just create a pleasing display to draw them in. Windows are designed to be long-lasting so you may not have replaced yours for quite some time. It’s an investment, but a glass refresh can give your business a beautiful face lift and better represent you to the community.

Higher Energy Bills

Energy bills have been steadily rising and putting a strain on all of our budgets. To combat this, you can use energy efficient lightbulbs and appliances, keep doors closed, and turn the heating down a couple of degrees. Another way you can save money on energy is by ensuring you have energy efficient windows.

Even windows that are only a decade or so old may not be effectively insulating your space or blocking out draughts. Upgrading to better double or triple glazed windows can help you lower your bills by up to 25% and keep your shop at a stable temperature.

Condensation and Fogginess

Do your windows stay fogged up or covered in condensation, no matter how many times you clean or wipe them? Older windows and poor quality glass are more likely to experience a condensation and a foggy or milky appearance as a result of temperature differences between your shop and outside.

If your windows are consistently cloudy or covered in a layer of condensation, potential customers can’t see inside. Excess condensation can also be a sign of mould, which can end up being a costly health hazard to tackle. Modern and high quality glass are better able to adapt to changes in temperature and protect against damp and mould.

These are just a few of the ways that investing in newer, better windows will improve your shop’s appearance and finances. Direct Shop Fronts specialises in putting your business’s best face forward with the best cheap aluminium shop fronts.
