Getting the right glass for your building

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.

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

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.

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.
