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

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.

Clarity

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

Consents and safety: England

Insurer requirements

Insurers set their own conditions for shops, offices, stock and cash, and some name a glazing class such as BS EN 356 P6B in the policy wording. Ask for that wording in writing before you order. The insurer decides whether the glass meets their policy; we provide the glass manufacturer's test evidence with the quote.

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 Doncaster: questions

Do you cover Rotherham as well as Doncaster?

Yes. As well as Doncaster, we can arrange surveys in nearby Rotherham, Pontefract and Barnsley. 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.

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.

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.
