Security glazing for schools and colleges

Schools have glass at child height everywhere: classroom doors, corridor screens, low windows and halls. Safety glazing protects pupils who run, push and fall into glass, while laminated glass on ground-floor windows also makes buildings harder to break into out of hours.

Points to plan for

  • Survey existing glass to find panes that are not safety glass.
  • Plan work for holidays and weekends to keep sites clear of pupils.
  • Film can bring some existing glass up to a safer standard at lower cost.
  • Installers working on school sites follow the school's safeguarding procedures.

Questions from schools and colleges

Is wired glass safety glass?

Not necessarily. Ordinary wired glass can break into sharp pieces held by the wire, and unless it is marked as meeting a safety standard it should be treated as unsafe in critical locations.

Can work be done during term time?

Small jobs can be done with areas closed off, but most schools prefer holidays or weekends for larger glazing work.

Can film make existing glass safer?

Some safety films are tested to impact standards when applied to particular glass. We check the glass and the film's evidence before recommending it.

Can you survey a whole site?

Yes. We can survey and list every pane in critical locations, with a priced schedule to replace or upgrade them.
