Safety glazing for schools and public buildings means finding glass in critical locations, such as doors, side panels and low-level panes, that would break dangerously, and replacing it with toughened or laminated safety glass or protecting it with safety film. It helps duty holders meet workplace and building safety rules where children, staff and visitors move around.

Before the glass is ordered
Fire-rated panes
Glass in fire doors and screens must stay fire-rated. We use the fire-rated glass and glazing system named in the door or screen's certification or test evidence, never plain laminated glass, and some doors need a certificated fire-door installer.
Replace or film
Replacement suits panes in poor frames or high-risk positions. Film is a quick, lower-cost way to protect sound glass in good frames.
Glazing rules in England
Safety glass in critical locations
In England, section 5 of Approved Document K treats glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door edge, from floor level up to 1,500 mm, and any other glazing below 800 mm, as a critical location. Glass there should break safely, be robust, or be guarded. Laminated or toughened glass meeting BS EN 12600 class 3 is the usual answer, rising to class 2 for door and side-panel panes wider than 900 mm.
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.

Safety glazing for schools and public buildings in Camden Town: questions
Which areas near Camden Town do you cover?
We can arrange work in Camden Town and in nearby Chalk Farm (1 mile), Holloway (1 mile) and Islington (2 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Can you replace glass in fire doors?
Often, yes, using the fire-rated glass and glazing system named in the door's certification or test evidence; some doors need a certificated fire-door installer, which we check first. Fire door glass must never be replaced with ordinary safety or security glass.
What are critical locations?
Glazing in and beside doors up to 1,500 mm from the floor and other glazing below 800 mm, in the English guidance. Similar rules apply in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Is wired glass safety glass?
Not usually. Ordinary wired glass is not a safety glass and can break into sharp pieces in impact positions. Some wired glass is used for fire resistance, which is a different job.
