Security glazing for jewellers and pawnbrokers

Jewellers, pawnbrokers and watch shops keep high-value stock in a small space, often right behind the window. The glass here has to buy time against a determined attack, so anti-bandit laminates, secure display cases and strong frames matter more than in almost any other shop.

Where jewellers and pawnbrokers are most exposed

  • Smash-and-grab on window displays during trading hours
  • Overnight attack on the shopfront and entrance door
  • Display cases inside the shop
  • Rear windows and roof lights out of public view

Glass that suits jewellers and pawnbrokers

Points to plan for

  • Your insurer's wording usually sets the minimum glass class.
  • A rated pane needs a frame and beads that cannot be bypassed.
  • Display cases need their own laminated glass and locks, not just the window.
  • Keep the manufacturer's test evidence for every rated pane on file.

Questions from jewellers and pawnbrokers

What glass do jewellers usually fit?

Anti-bandit laminated glass in the P6B to P8B range is common for windows and doors, often set by the insurer. We quote against the class they name.

Can display cases be upgraded without replacing them?

Often, yes. Many cases can take new laminated glass in the existing frame, subject to the case's construction and lock positions.

Does a high rating help in a ram raid?

It delays entry after an impact but does not stop a vehicle. If ram raids are a concern, bollards or barriers are needed as well.

Can the display stay visible at night?

Yes. Laminated glass is clear, so lit displays stay on view while the glass does its job.
