What is the price of anti-bandit glass in Bridgend?

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.

This glazing suits:

Jewellers, watch dealers and pawnbrokers
Pharmacies with controlled drug storage
Reception screens in higher-risk premises
Phone, electronics and designer retailers

Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

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.

Building regulations and safety in Wales

Wales

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for works that affect their character, which can include replacing historic glass, glazing bars or sashes. Cadw advises on the historic environment in Wales. Reversible options such as secondary glazing are often easier to agree, but the council decides.

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.

Anti-bandit glass in Bridgend: questions

Do you cover Porthcawl as well as Bridgend?

Yes. As well as Bridgend, we can arrange surveys in nearby Porthcawl, Llantwit Major and Maesteg. 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.

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.

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.
