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.

Things to decide before you order
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.
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.
Rules that apply in 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.
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 Kirkcaldy: questions
Can you survey in Kirkcaldy and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Kirkcaldy, Glenrothes and Leven are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
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.
