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

Clarity

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

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.

Consents and safety: England

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.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

In England, listed building consent from the council may be needed to replace historic glass such as crown or cylinder glass, or to alter glazing bars, sashes and frames. Historic England publishes guidance on traditional windows. Secondary glazing and window film are often easier to agree because they can be removed later, but the council's conservation officer makes the decision.

Anti-bandit glass in Grantham: questions

Do you cover Sleaford as well as Grantham?

Yes. As well as Grantham, we can arrange surveys in nearby Sleaford, Newark-on-Trent and Melton Mowbray. Dates depend on 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.

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.

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.
