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.

Things to decide before you order

Clarity

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

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.

Rules that apply 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.

Insurer requirements

Insurers in Wales, as elsewhere, can set conditions for premises, stock and cash, sometimes naming a BS EN 356 class for shop or counter glass. Get the policy wording in writing before ordering. The insurer decides whether the glass meets it, and the glass manufacturer's test evidence comes with our quote.

Anti-bandit glass in Llantwit Major: questions

Which areas near Llantwit Major do you cover?

We can arrange work in Llantwit Major and in nearby Bridgend (8 miles), Barry (9 miles) and Porthcawl (11 miles). 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.

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.

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.
