What to think about first
Glass alone or glass and frame
The class only means something if the frame, beads and fixings hold the glass for as long as the glass resists. We will tell you if the frame needs replacing.
Weight and handling
Large anti-bandit panes can weigh several hundred kilograms. Fitting may need lifting equipment, extra installers and a planned slot outside trading hours.
Consents and safety: Scotland
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the council for works affecting their character, which can include historic glass, glazing bars and sash windows. Historic Environment Scotland is consulted on some cases and publishes guidance on traditional windows. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of shopfronts and external changes.
Insurer requirements
Insurers set their own conditions for Scottish premises, stock and cash, and may name a glazing class such as BS EN 356 P6B. Get the wording in writing before you order. The insurer decides whether the glass meets their policy; we supply the manufacturer's test evidence with the quote.

Anti-bandit glass in Kilmarnock: questions
Do you cover Irvine as well as Kilmarnock?
Yes. As well as Kilmarnock, we can arrange surveys in nearby Irvine, Troon and Saltcoats. Dates depend on installer availability.
Is anti-bandit glass the same as bullet-resistant glass?
No. Anti-bandit glass is tested against manual attack under BS EN 356. Bullet-resistant glass is tested against firearms under BS EN 1063, and is thicker and heavier again.
How thick is anti-bandit glass?
It depends on the manufacturer's makeup for each class. P6B is often around 11.5 mm and P8B commonly 20 mm or more. We quote the tested makeup for the class you need.
Does my insurer require anti-bandit glass?
Some insurers name a glass class for certain stock or cash limits. Send us the policy wording and we will quote to it. The insurer decides whether a product meets their conditions.
