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

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.

Fitting in Epsom and nearby
Epsom is about 15 miles from Guildford, the main centre for Surrey. We can survey and fit across the KT17 district and in nearby places such as Ewell and Banstead.
Surrey's commuter towns such as Guildford, Woking and Epsom mix Victorian and inter-war houses with modern glazed offices, while Farnham and Godalming have extensive conservation areas.
This glazing suits:
- Laboratories and industrial sites with process risks
- Offices in city centres and near potential targets
- Transport hubs, venues and stadium frontages
- Embassies, courts and police premises
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 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 Epsom: questions
Which areas near Epsom do you cover?
We can arrange work in Epsom and in nearby Ewell (2 miles), Banstead (3 miles) and Sutton (3 miles). 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.
What does ER1 to ER4 mean?
They are explosion-pressure classes in BS EN 13541. Glass samples are tested in a shock tube, with higher classes meaning higher pressures. The class applies to the glass, so the frame must be designed to match.
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.
