Blast-resistant glazing is laminated glass fitted in a frame and fixing system designed to stay in the opening, or fail safely, when hit by the pressure wave from an explosion. Its purpose is to stop glass becoming high-speed fragments, which cause most injuries in a blast, and it is designed from a threat assessment rather than chosen off the shelf.

- Sealed units with a laminated inner pane
- Anti-shatter film with edge-retention systems for existing windows

Things to decide before you order
New glazing or retrofit
New facades can be designed as a full tested system. Existing buildings often get film with edge retention, internal secondary glazing or curtains instead.
Who sets the level
The design pressure comes from a threat and risk assessment by a security adviser or blast engineer, not from the glass supplier.
Rules that apply in Wales
Fire-rated glass is different
Glass in fire doors and fire screens must be fire-rated glass tested as part of that door or screen, under Approved Document B for Wales and, in non-domestic premises, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Security and laminated glass are not fire-rated unless the product is tested for it, so the two cannot simply be swapped.
Glazing in workplaces
Regulation 14 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 applies in Wales. 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 they are apparent. The employer's risk assessment decides where that applies.

Blast-resistant glazing in Rhosllanerchrugog: questions
Do you cover Wrexham as well as Rhosllanerchrugog?
Yes. As well as Rhosllanerchrugog, we can arrange surveys in nearby Wrexham, Buckley and Mold. Dates depend on installer availability.
Can existing windows be made blast-resistant?
They can often be improved. Anti-shatter film with an edge-retention system, laminated replacement glass in strengthened frames or internal secondary glazing can cut the flying-glass hazard, depending on the threat.
Is blast film enough on its own?
Film helps hold glass together but works much better when the film is anchored to the frame so the whole pane cannot fly in. Plain film without retention offers less.
Does blast glazing affect fire doors and fire screens?
Glass in fire-rated doors and screens must stay fire-rated glass tested in that system. Blast measures there need fire-rated products or a specialist design, never a swap to plain laminated glass.
