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.

Before the glass is ordered
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.
Clarity
Thick laminates look green at the edge and slightly tinted in the face. Low-iron glass keeps displays looking true.
Glazing rules in England
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.
Glazing in workplaces
Regulation 14 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 requires windows and transparent surfaces in walls, partitions, doors and gates to be of safety material or protected against breakage where health or safety makes that necessary, and to be marked so people notice them. The employer or the person in control of the premises decides what is needed through their risk assessment.

Anti-bandit glass in Royton: questions
Do you cover Chadderton as well as Royton?
Yes. As well as Royton, we can arrange surveys in nearby Chadderton, Oldham and Middleton. 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.
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.
