Shop Front Glass Systems We Install
We install four main systems: aluminium-framed shop front glass, frameless tempered glass fronts, interior aluminium partition walls and shop front doors in swing or sliding configurations. Completed fronts and partitions are in our project portfolio.
Aluminium-framed shop front glass
Powder-coated frames in white, black or custom colours holding 5mm clear or 6 to 10mm tempered glass. The workhorse system for shop lots, offices and mall units.
Frameless tempered glass fronts
Full-height 12mm tempered panels with minimal hardware. Nothing between your display and the walkway except glass.
Aluminium partition with glass panels
The same framing system used indoors to divide offices, showrooms and clinics without losing light.
Shop front doors
Swing doors on floor springs, sliding doors and folding stack doors, matched to the front and fitted with locks, handles and closers.
A shop front is the one renovation item your customers judge before they ever step in. Clear shop front glass sells what is behind it, and the aluminium frame decides whether the front reads crisp or clumsy. That is why frame profile, glass type and door position get locked on paper first on every Hypro ceiling and partition project.

Shop Front Glass Price in Malaysia
In 2026, shop front glass costs around RM35 to RM55 per square foot installed for an aluminium-framed system in KL and Selangor, and RM55 to RM75 for frameless 12mm tempered glass. Doors are priced per unit. Get an exact figure with a free site measurement.
Glass thickness moves the price more than frame colour. A 5mm clear panel inside an aluminium frame is the budget route, while tempered glass costs more because every panel is heat-treated and cut to final size before tempering. As a market sanity check, Malaysian suppliers such as INPRO Glass & Aluminium list aluminium-framed shopfront systems from RM35 per square foot, which sits at the bottom of the installed ranges below.
| System | Installed price (per sq ft) | Relative cost |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminium frame + 5mm clear glass | RM35 � RM45 | RM35�45 |
| Aluminium frame + 6�10mm tempered glass | RM40 � RM55 | RM40�55 |
| Frameless 12mm tempered glass front | RM55 � RM75 | RM55�75 |
| Interior aluminium partition (glass panel) | RM30 � RM45 | RM30�45 |

Doors sit outside the per-square-foot maths. A tempered glass swing door on a floor spring typically lands between RM1,800 and RM3,500 installed depending on glass thickness, handles and locking, so we always quote doors as their own line item.
Key takeaway � Budget RM35 to RM55 per square foot for an aluminium-framed front and RM55 to RM75 for frameless tempered glass. Glass thickness and the door spec move the total more than frame colour ever will.
What Affects Your Shop Front Glass Quote
Glass and aluminium frame make up about half a typical shop front quote, with doors and hardware next. Opening height, mall night-work rules and old front removal add the rest, which is why a free site visit beats any phone estimate.
| Cost component | Typical share of quote | What moves it |
|---|---|---|
| Glass + aluminium frame | ~50% | Glass thickness, tempering, frame profile |
| Doors & hardware | ~20% | Floor springs, locks, handles, closers |
| Labour & setting out | ~20% | Opening height, access, day vs night works |
| Removal, trims & sealant | ~10% | Old front demolition, odd corners, weatherproofing |

Mall units carry rules that street lots do not. Most malls only allow hacking and glass delivery after closing, and some require a hoarding board while work runs. Both appear as clear line items in our itemised quote, so the landlord's fit-out checklist never surprises you mid-project.

Shop Front Glass Installation Process & Timeline
A single shop lot front takes 2 to 4 days on site once glass arrives from tempering, which adds 5 to 7 working days of lead time. Every Hypro installation follows the same five steps, from site visit to handover.
| Project type | Typical on-site duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Single shop lot front + door | 2�4 days | Add 5�7 working days for glass tempering |
| Office front + interior aluminium partition | 3�6 days | Front and partitions run as one schedule |
| Mall unit shopfront | 3�6 days | Often night works to fit mall rules |
| Showroom / multi-bay frontage | 5�10 days | Phased bay by bay so trading can continue |

The five steps in every job:
Free site visit
We measure the opening, check floor and beam levels, and confirm door swing and signage positions.
Fixed itemised quote
Glass, aluminium frame, doors, hardware, removal works and labour, line by line.
Design & materials confirmed
Frame colour, glass thickness and door hardware locked before panels go for tempering.
Installation
Frame set plumb and level, panels lifted in, doors hung and adjusted by our own CIDB-certified installers.
Inspection & handover
Door swing, locks and sealant checked against the quote before we call it done.
Key takeaway � The site work is fast; the wait is the tempering queue. Confirm glass sizes early, because a tempered panel cannot be trimmed afterwards and a re-order restarts the 5 to 7 day lead time.
A frame set one degree off or a panel hung out of plumb stays visible every time the door opens � which is why our own certified crew installs every job, never a sub.
Aluminium-Framed vs Frameless Shop Front Glass
Choose an aluminium-framed front for lower cost, easier signage mounting and stronger security framing. Choose frameless tempered glass for maximum display visibility. Inside the unit, the same logic applies to a tempered glass partition versus a framed one.
Glazing specialists such as S&T Glazing frame the choice the same way we do. Frameless gives a high-end, uninterrupted view that suits fashion and tech retail. Framed systems offer more structural support, more colour options and more flexibility when the opening is not perfectly square. Most Malaysian shop lots are not perfectly square, which is one quiet argument for the frame.
| Factor | Aluminium-framed glass | Frameless tempered glass |
|---|---|---|
| Installed price (per sq ft) | RM35 � RM55 | RM55 � RM75 |
| Look | Defined borders, any frame colour | Uninterrupted glass, minimal hardware |
| Display visibility | Good � frame lines visible | Best � full-height clear view |
| Security & structure | Stronger � framed edges, multi-point locks | Good � 12mm tempered, patch locks |
| Uneven openings | Forgiving � frame absorbs tolerance | Demanding � needs precise setting out |
| Best for | Shop lots, offices, clinics, F&B | Boutiques, showrooms, galleries |

Many projects mix both. The entrance bay goes frameless for impact, the side bays take aluminium-framed panels to carry signage and power for window lighting, and an aluminium partition divides the fitting rooms behind. One Hypro team installs all of it, so the sight lines stay level across systems.
Key takeaway � Frameless wins on display impact, framed wins on cost, security and tolerance for imperfect openings. Spend on frameless where customers stand and look in, and frame the rest.
Shop Front Glass Service Areas: Kuala Lumpur, Selangor & the Klang Valley
We install shop front glass Kuala Lumpur-wide and across Selangor � Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, Subang Jaya, Klang, Puchong, Kajang, Rawang and Sungai Buloh. From our base in Bandar Sri Damansara, most of the Klang Valley is within 45 minutes for a free site visit.
For selected commercial projects such as chain outlets, showrooms and clinic fit-outs, we travel beyond the Klang Valley too. Coverage outside these areas is quoted case by case. WhatsApp us your location and opening size to check. As a shop front glass contractor with its own crew, we build the storefront outside and the glass partitions inside � the aluminium shop front glass contractor to call for retail lots and showrooms.
A shop front earns or loses customers before your signage gets a second glance. Clear shop front glass puts your stock and your fit-out on display, the aluminium frame keeps the whole thing square, secure and serviceable, and the door hardware decides how the entrance feels a hundred times a day. Costs are predictable once glass thickness and door spec are locked, and the site work is measured in days, not weeks. What separates a crisp front from a wavy reflection and a dragging door is the installer, so a specialist glass and aluminium partition crew matters more here than in almost any other fit-out trade.

Shop Front Glass FAQs
An aluminium-framed shop front with 5mm clear glass costs around RM35 to RM45 per square foot installed in KL and Selangor. Upgrading to 6 to 10mm tempered glass brings it to RM40 to RM55, and a frameless 12mm tempered glass front runs RM55 to RM75. Tempered glass doors are quoted per unit, typically RM1,800 to RM3,500.
On-site work takes 2 to 4 days for a single shop lot front, 3 to 6 days for mall units or office fronts with interior partitions, and 5 to 10 days for showrooms with multiple bays. Add 5 to 7 working days of lead time for glass tempering before installation starts.
For full-height fronts where people walk beside the glass, yes. Tempered glass is heat-treated so it is several times stronger than ordinary annealed glass, and if it ever breaks it crumbles into small blunt pieces instead of large sharp shards. Frameless fronts must be tempered, and we recommend it for framed fronts in any busy walkway.
Choose aluminium-framed if budget, security framing or an uneven opening matters, since the frame absorbs site tolerance and carries signage and locks easily. Choose frameless 12mm tempered glass when display visibility is the priority, such as boutiques and showrooms. Many projects mix both: frameless at the entrance bay, framed panels on the sides.
