It is used by jewellers, museums, galleries and any business that keeps valuable items on open display.

Glazing rules 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 Portsmouth: questions
Do you cover Gosport as well as Portsmouth?
Yes. As well as Portsmouth, we can arrange surveys in nearby Gosport, Fareham and Havant. Dates depend on 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.
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.
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.
