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.
Consents and safety: Scotland
Insurer requirements
Insurers set their own conditions for Scottish premises, stock and cash, and may name a glazing class such as BS EN 356 P6B. Get the wording in writing before you order. The insurer decides whether the glass meets their policy; we supply the manufacturer's test evidence with the quote.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the council for works affecting their character, which can include historic glass, glazing bars and sash windows. Historic Environment Scotland is consulted on some cases and publishes guidance on traditional windows. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of shopfronts and external changes.
