Rules that apply in England
Safety glass in critical locations
In England, section 5 of Approved Document K treats glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door edge, from floor level up to 1,500 mm, and any other glazing below 800 mm, as a critical location. Glass there should break safely, be robust, or be guarded. Laminated or toughened glass meeting BS EN 12600 class 3 is the usual answer, rising to class 2 for door and side-panel panes wider than 900 mm.
Glazing in workplaces
Regulation 14 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 requires windows and transparent surfaces in walls, partitions, doors and gates to be of safety material or protected against breakage where health or safety makes that necessary, and to be marked so people notice them. The employer or the person in control of the premises decides what is needed through their risk assessment.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
In England, listed building consent from the council may be needed to replace historic glass such as crown or cylinder glass, or to alter glazing bars, sashes and frames. Historic England publishes guidance on traditional windows. Secondary glazing and window film are often easier to agree because they can be removed later, but the council's conservation officer makes the decision.
Security glazing in Gateshead: questions
Do you fit security glass in Gateshead?
Yes. We can arrange surveys and fitting in Gateshead and the NE8 area.
How much does security glass cost in Gateshead?
As a guide, allow £162 to £474 including VAT (£135 to £395 plus VAT) per window for security glass for home windows in Gateshead, supplied and fitted. Size, glass makeup, access and frame condition move the price, which is confirmed in writing after the free survey.
Do you cover Newcastle upon Tyne as well as Gateshead?
Yes. As well as Gateshead, we can arrange surveys in nearby Newcastle upon Tyne, Felling and Wallsend. Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
