Blast-resistant glazing in Tonypandy

What is the price of blast-resistant glazing in Tonypandy?

Guide prices for blast-resistant glazing in Tonypandy are £450 to £1,495 plus VAT (£540 to £1,794 inc VAT) per m² for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before any glass is ordered.

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.

Laboratories and industrial sites with process risks
Transport hubs, venues and stadium frontages
Offices in city centres and near potential targets
Government, council and civic buildings

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.

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.

Building regulations and safety in Wales

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.

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.

Blast-resistant glazing in Tonypandy: questions

Do you cover Rhondda as well as Tonypandy?

Yes. As well as Tonypandy, we can arrange surveys in nearby Rhondda, Pontypridd and Aberdare. Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.

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.
