What the rules say in 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.
Glazing in workplaces
Regulation 14 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 requires windows and transparent surfaces in walls, partitions, doors and gates to be of safety material or protected against breakage where health or safety makes that necessary, and to be marked so people notice them. The employer or the person in control of the premises decides what is needed through their risk assessment.

Display case security glass in Portslade: questions
Can you survey in Portslade and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Portslade, Hove and Brighton are booked around installer availability.
Will laminated glass cut UV on displayed items?
Laminated glass blocks most UV light, which helps reduce fading of fabrics, papers and labels.
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.
