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.

Things to decide before you order

Prioritising

Start with doors, side panels and low-level glass in busy areas, then work outwards. The schedule makes it easy to phase.

Manifestation

Large clear panes need markings at eye level so people do not walk into them.

Rules that apply in England

England

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 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.

Safety glazing for schools and public buildings in Norfolk: questions

Which towns in Norfolk do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Norfolk, including Norwich, Great Yarmouth, King's Lynn, Thetford and Dereham, and in other towns across the area.

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.

Can you work during school holidays?

Yes. Most school glazing work is planned for holidays, weekends or after hours.

Do we have to replace all the old glass?

Not necessarily. The duty is to make glass safe where needed. That may mean replacement, film or guarding, depending on the pane and the risk.
