Commercial reglazing is the replacement of glass in office facades, shopfronts, curtain walling and internal screens, whether it is damaged, misted, unsafe or being upgraded. It often involves large panes, access equipment and work planned around a building that stays open.

Things to decide before you order
Coated glass matching
Older solar control glass may no longer be made. We source the closest match and tell you if it will look slightly different.
Keeping the building open
Out-of-hours work and phased replacement keep disruption low.
Rules that apply 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.
Planning permission
Changing the glass in an existing window or shopfront does not usually need planning permission, because the building looks much the same afterwards. A new or altered shopfront, or security features added to the outside of a building, may need planning permission from the council. Bollards or barriers on the pavement need the highway authority's consent, which is normally the council.
