Getting the right glass for your building
Keeping the building open
Out-of-hours work and phased replacement keep disruption low.
Match or upgrade
Like-for-like keeps the facade consistent. Upgrading to laminated or safety glass is often worth it at ground level.
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.
Safety glass in critical locations
In England, section 5 of Approved Document K treats glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door edge, from floor level up to 1,500 mm, and any other glazing below 800 mm, as a critical location. Glass there should break safely, be robust, or be guarded. Laminated or toughened glass meeting BS EN 12600 class 3 is the usual answer, rising to class 2 for door and side-panel panes wider than 900 mm.

Commercial reglazing in March: questions
Can you survey in March and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in March, Wisbech and Peterborough are booked around installer availability.
Who arranges permits for lifts on the pavement?
We do, as part of planning the job, and include the cost in the price.
Can you match our existing tinted glass?
Usually closely. Some older coatings are no longer made, so we source the nearest match and explain any difference before ordering.
Can work be done out of hours?
Yes. Many commercial reglazing jobs are done early, late or at weekends where an installer is available.
