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.

Getting the right glass for your building

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.

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.

What the rules say in England

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.

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.

Shopfront security glass in Islington: questions

Can you survey in Islington and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Islington, Highbury and Holloway are booked around installer availability.

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 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.

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.
