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.

Getting the right glass for your building
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.
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.
What the rules say in England
Fire-rated glass is different
Glass in fire doors, fire screens and protected escape routes has to be fire-rated glass tested as part of that door or screen system, under Approved Document B and the fire safety duties of the building's responsible person. Laminated and security glass are not fire-rated unless the product says so. Where a pane needs both fire and security performance, it must be a product tested for both.
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 Stourport-on-Severn: questions
Do you cover Kidderminster as well as Stourport-on-Severn?
Yes. As well as Stourport-on-Severn, we can arrange surveys in nearby Kidderminster, Droitwich and Bromsgrove. 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.
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.
