Getting the right glass for your building
Reglaze or replace
Sound cases can be reglazed with laminated glass. Light or worn cases may be better replaced.
Insurer conditions
Insurers may set conditions for high-value items. Share their wording so the case meets it.
What the rules say in England
Insurer requirements
Insurers set their own conditions for shops, offices, stock and cash, and some name a glazing class such as BS EN 356 P6B in the policy wording. Ask for that wording in writing before you order. The insurer decides whether the glass meets their policy; we provide the glass manufacturer's test evidence with the quote.
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.

Display case security glass in St Austell: questions
Which areas near St Austell do you cover?
We can arrange work in St Austell and in nearby Bodmin (9 miles), Truro (13 miles) and Newquay (14 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Does anti-reflective glass make a difference?
Under spotlights, yes. It reduces reflections so items can be seen clearly from more angles.
Can you reglaze our existing display cases?
Usually. We measure each panel and fit laminated glass to the existing case if the frame and fixings are sound.
What glass is best for a jewellery counter?
Laminated glass, usually low-iron for clarity and at least P2A, with thicker classes for high-value stock. The lock and frame need to match.
