Our guide range for blast-resistant glazing is £450 to £1,495 plus VAT (£540 to £1,794 inc VAT) per m², supplied and fitted. Work in Newport, Isle of Wight is arranged individually, so travel and glass delivery are confirmed in your written price before anything is booked.
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.

Questions we will ask at the survey
Fragment hazard
Some designs accept that glass will break but keep it in place; others allow controlled failure into a catching system. Both aim to stop flying shards.
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.
Building regulations and safety in England
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.
Glazing in workplaces
Regulation 14 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 requires windows and transparent surfaces in walls, partitions, doors and gates to be of safety material or protected against breakage where health or safety makes that necessary, and to be marked so people notice them. The employer or the person in control of the premises decides what is needed through their risk assessment.

Blast-resistant glazing in Newport, Isle of Wight: questions
Can you work in Newport, Isle of Wight?
Work in Newport, Isle of Wight is arranged individually because of travel. Send your postcode and details and we will confirm what is possible.
Who decides what level of protection we need?
Your security adviser, insurer or a blast engineer, based on a threat and risk assessment. Government guidance from the National Protective Security Authority covers the approach.
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.
