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.

Getting the right glass for your building
Manifestation
Large clear panes need markings at eye level so people do not walk into them.
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.
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.

Safety glazing for schools and public buildings in Wembley: questions
Which areas near Wembley do you cover?
We can arrange work in Wembley and in nearby Harrow (2 miles), Greenford (3 miles) and Willesden (3 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
Can you work during school holidays?
Yes. Most school glazing work is planned for holidays, weekends or after hours.
