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

Weight and handling

Large anti-bandit panes can weigh several hundred kilograms. Fitting may need lifting equipment, extra installers and a planned slot outside trading hours.

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.

Consents and safety: Wales

Wales

Planning permission

In Wales the local planning authority decides whether a new or altered shopfront needs planning permission. Replacing glass in an existing frame usually does not, because the outside of the building looks much the same. Bollards or barriers on the pavement need consent from the highway authority, normally the council.

Glazing in workplaces

Regulation 14 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 applies in Wales. 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 they are apparent. The employer's risk assessment decides where that applies.

Anti-bandit glass in Holyhead: questions

Do you cover Caernarfon as well as Holyhead?

Yes. As well as Holyhead, we can arrange work in nearby Caernarfon. 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.

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.
