Glazing rules in Northern Ireland
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Northern Ireland need listed building consent from the council for works affecting their character, which can include historic glass and sash windows. The Department for Communities' Historic Environment Division advises on these cases. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of shopfronts and external changes.
Glazing in workplaces
The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 contain an equivalent requirement to Great Britain's: windows and transparent surfaces in walls, partitions, doors and gates must be of safety material or protected where health or safety requires it, and marked so they are apparent. The employer's risk assessment decides where.

Anti-bandit glass in Newtownabbey: questions
Do you cover Holywood as well as Newtownabbey?
Yes. As well as Newtownabbey, we can arrange surveys in nearby Holywood, Belfast and Carrickfergus. Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
