Rules that apply in Wales
Safety glass in critical locations
In Wales, safety glazing is covered by Approved Document N (glazing) under the Welsh Building Regulations rather than Approved Document K. Glass in doors up to 1,500 mm above the floor, in panes within 300 mm of a door up to 1,500 mm, and in other glazing below 800 mm should be safety glass or protected. Laminated and toughened glass are the usual choices.
Glazing in workplaces
Regulation 14 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 applies in Wales. Windows and transparent surfaces in walls, partitions, doors and gates must be of safety material or protected against breakage where health or safety requires it, and marked so they are apparent. The employer's risk assessment decides where that applies.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for works that affect their character, which can include replacing historic glass, glazing bars or sashes. Cadw advises on the historic environment in Wales. Reversible options such as secondary glazing are often easier to agree, but the council decides.
Security glazing in Gwent: questions
Do you fit security glass across Gwent?

How much does security glass cost in Gwent?
As a guide, laminated security glass costs £145 to £495 plus VAT (£174 to £594 inc VAT) per pane, anti-bandit glass £450 to £2,995 plus VAT (£540 to £3,594 inc VAT) per pane and security film £45 to £110 plus VAT (£54 to £132 inc VAT) per m², supplied and fitted. Fixed prices follow a free survey.
Do I need permission to replace glass in Gwent?
Replacing glass in an existing frame is usually treated as a repair, while replacing whole windows is controlled. Safety glass is expected in critical locations under Approved Document N for Wales, and listed buildings may need consent. See the rules section on this page.
Does a listed building need consent to change glass?
It can. Historic glass is part of a listed building's character, so check with the council's conservation officer first.
What is the difference between laminated and toughened glass?
Toughened glass is stronger but breaks into small pieces and leaves an open hole. Laminated glass cracks but stays in the frame, which is why it is the choice for security.
