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

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.

What the rules say in England

England

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.

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 Sleaford: questions

Which areas near Sleaford do you cover?

We can arrange work in Sleaford and in nearby Grantham (11 miles), Boston (16 miles) and Lincoln (17 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.

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.

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.
