Anti-bandit glass is a heavy laminated glass built from several sheets and interlayers to resist a determined manual attack with tools. Under BS EN 356 it is classed P6B, P7B or P8B by how many hammer and axe strikes a machine needs to cut a 400 by 400 mm hole through it. The class belongs to the manufacturer's tested makeup, and their test evidence comes with your quote.

What to think about first
P6B, P7B or P8B
P6B is the usual step up for high-value retail. P7B and P8B are chosen where a risk assessment or insurer points to a sustained, equipped attack.
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.
Consents and safety: Scotland
Glazing in workplaces
Regulation 14 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 applies in Scotland. 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 people see them. The duty holder's risk assessment decides where.
Planning permission
Under the Scottish planning system the council decides whether a new or altered shopfront needs planning permission; changing the glass in an existing frame usually does not. Bollards or barriers in a road or footway need consent from the roads authority, which is normally the council.

Anti-bandit glass in Saltcoats: questions
Do you cover Irvine as well as Saltcoats?
Yes. As well as Saltcoats, we can arrange surveys in nearby Irvine, Troon and Largs. Dates depend on installer availability.
What is the difference between anti-bandit and laminated glass?
All anti-bandit glass is laminated, but not all laminated glass is anti-bandit. The term is used for the P6B to P8B classes, which resist hammer and axe attack rather than just a dropped weight.
Can anti-bandit glass go into my existing shopfront?
Sometimes. Many older shopfront frames are too shallow or too light for thick glass. We check the rebate depth, bead strength and fixings, and price new framing if the existing frame would be the weak point.
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.
