What to think about first

Trading hours

Large panes take time to swap. We plan the work to keep the shop open and secure, with boarding if a pane cannot be replaced the same visit.

Glass or frame first

If the frame is shallow or light, upgrading the glass alone moves the weak point to the frame. We price both so you can decide.

Insurer requirements

Insurers set their own conditions for shops, offices, stock and cash, and some name a glazing class such as BS EN 356 P6B in the policy wording. Ask for that wording in writing before you order. The insurer decides whether the glass meets their policy; we provide the glass manufacturer's test evidence with the quote.

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.

Shopfront security glass in Barnstaple: questions

Do you cover Bideford as well as Barnstaple?

Yes. As well as Barnstaple, we can arrange work in nearby Bideford. Dates depend on installer availability.

Will security glass stop a ram raid?

No glass will stop a vehicle. Laminated glass and strong frames delay entry after impact. Stopping vehicles needs bollards or barriers, which we cover under anti-ram-raid glazing.

Is my shop window toughened or laminated?

Look for the safety mark in a corner of the pane, or ask us to check at the survey. Many older shopfronts are toughened, which breaks completely and leaves the window open.

Can you fit the glass without closing the shop?

Usually. We plan early or after-closing slots where an installer is available, and keep the opening secure during the work.
