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.

Getting the right glass for your building

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.

Clarity

Thick laminates look green at the edge and slightly tinted in the face. Low-iron glass keeps displays looking true.

Insurer requirements

Insurers set their own conditions for shops, offices, stock and cash, and some name a glazing class such as BS EN 356 P6B in the policy wording. Ask for that wording in writing before you order. The insurer decides whether the glass meets their policy; we provide the glass manufacturer's test evidence with the quote.

Planning permission

Changing the glass in an existing window or shopfront does not usually need planning permission, because the building looks much the same afterwards. A new or altered shopfront, or security features added to the outside of a building, may need planning permission from the council. Bollards or barriers on the pavement need the highway authority's consent, which is normally the council.

Anti-bandit glass in Crowborough: questions

Which areas near Crowborough do you cover?

We can arrange work in Crowborough and in nearby Tunbridge Wells (7 miles), East Grinstead (9 miles) and Tonbridge (10 miles). 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.

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.

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.
