Getting the right glass for your building
Insurer conditions
Insurers may set conditions for high-value items. Share their wording so the case meets it.
Reglaze or replace
Sound cases can be reglazed with laminated glass. Light or worn cases may be better replaced.
What the rules say in England
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.
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 Dover: questions
Which areas near Dover do you cover?
We can arrange work in Dover and in nearby Folkestone (7 miles), Deal (8 miles) and Canterbury (15 miles). 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.
Does anti-reflective glass make a difference?
Under spotlights, yes. It reduces reflections so items can be seen clearly from more angles.
