What to think about first
Match or upgrade
Like-for-like keeps the facade consistent. Upgrading to laminated or safety glass is often worth it at ground level.
Keeping the building open
Out-of-hours work and phased replacement keep disruption low.
Consents and safety: England
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.
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.

Commercial reglazing in Bath: questions
Do you cover Trowbridge as well as Bath?
Yes. As well as Bath, we can arrange surveys in nearby Trowbridge, Melksham and Mangotsfield. Dates depend on 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.
Should we upgrade to laminated glass while reglazing?
At ground level and in doors, often yes. It adds safety and security for a modest extra cost.
