What to think about first
Locks and hinges
Strong glass behind a weak lock is no upgrade. We check and upgrade locks at the same time.
Reglaze or replace
Sound cases can be reglazed with laminated glass. Light or worn cases may be better replaced.
Consents and safety: 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.
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.

Display case security glass in Durham: questions
Which towns in Durham do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Durham, including Darlington, Hartlepool, Stockton-on-Tees, Durham and Chester-le-Street, and in other towns across the area.
Does anti-reflective glass make a difference?
Under spotlights, yes. It reduces reflections so items can be seen clearly from more angles.
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.
Can you work in a museum or gallery?
Yes. We plan the work with your team, protect the space and agree any materials that may come near objects.
