Shopfront security glass is laminated glass sized for shop windows, entrance doors and side screens, chosen to a BS EN 356 class that suits the stock and the risk. It keeps the display fully visible while making smash-and-grab attempts slow, noisy and much less likely to succeed.

Choices you can make

Low-iron glass to keep displays true
Large single panes and glazed entrance doors
Framing checks and upgrades where frames are light
Work planned outside trading hours where possible
Anti-bandit P6B to P8B for high-value stock
Laminated panes from P2A to P5A

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.

Which class

Most shops do well with P2A to P4A. Jewellers and other high-value trades usually need P6B or above, often because their insurer says so.

Consents and safety: Scotland

Scotland

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the council for works affecting their character, which can include historic glass, glazing bars and sash windows. Historic Environment Scotland is consulted on some cases and publishes guidance on traditional windows. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of shopfronts and external changes.

Safety glass in critical locations

In Scotland, standard 4.8 of the Building Standards technical handbooks covers glazing at risk of human impact. Panes within 800 mm of floor level, in a door leaf, or within 300 mm of a door leaf and up to 1.5 m above the floor should resist impact in line with BS 6262-4, or be guarded. Laminated and toughened glass are the usual ways to meet it.

Shopfront security glass in Dundee: questions

Which areas near Dundee do you cover?

We can arrange work in Dundee and in nearby Cupar (10 miles), St Andrews (11 miles) and Forfar (12 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

Can my insurer specify the glass?

Yes. Some insurers name a class for certain stock. Send us the wording and we will quote to it; the insurer decides whether the product meets their conditions.

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.
