Reglaze or replace
Sound cases can be reglazed with laminated glass. Light or worn cases may be better replaced.
Clarity
Low-iron and anti-reflective glass make a real difference under display lighting.
Consents and safety: Wales
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for works that affect their character, which can include replacing historic glass, glazing bars or sashes. Cadw advises on the historic environment in Wales. Reversible options such as secondary glazing are often easier to agree, but the council decides.
Insurer requirements
Insurers in Wales, as elsewhere, can set conditions for premises, stock and cash, sometimes naming a BS EN 356 class for shop or counter glass. Get the policy wording in writing before ordering. The insurer decides whether the glass meets it, and the glass manufacturer's test evidence comes with our quote.

Display case security glass in Cardiff: questions
Do you cover Penarth as well as Cardiff?
Yes. As well as Cardiff, we can arrange surveys in nearby Penarth, Caerphilly and Barry. Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
Will laminated glass cut UV on displayed items?
Laminated glass blocks most UV light, which helps reduce fading of fabrics, papers and labels.
