Anti-ram-raid glazing is heavy laminated or anti-bandit glass fitted in strengthened, deeply rebated frames so that, if a vehicle or heavy tool hits the shopfront, the opening is not simply cleared. Glass and frames delay entry; stopping the vehicle itself needs bollards, posts or barriers in front of the shop.

Things to decide before you order

Insurer requirements

Insurers often set conditions after a raid. Get their wording before ordering so the scheme meets it.

Rules that apply in Scotland

Scotland

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the council for works affecting their character, which can include historic glass, glazing bars and sash windows. Historic Environment Scotland is consulted on some cases and publishes guidance on traditional windows. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of shopfronts and external changes.

Glazing in workplaces

Regulation 14 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 applies in Scotland. Windows and transparent surfaces in walls, partitions, doors and gates must be of safety material or protected against breakage where health or safety requires it, and marked so people see them. The duty holder's risk assessment decides where.

Anti-ram-raid glazing in Falkirk: questions

Can you survey in Falkirk and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Falkirk, Grangemouth and Alloa are booked around installer availability.

Should I move stock away from the window?

Yes. Keeping high-value stock away from the glass at night reduces the reward and complements the physical measures.

Can you strengthen my existing shopfront?

Sometimes, with reinforced mullions and better glass retention, but many frontages need new framing to make the glass upgrade worthwhile.

What glass is used against ram raids?

Usually anti-bandit laminated glass in the P6B to P8B classes, held in deep-rebate, reinforced framing so the pane does not fall out when the frame is struck.
