Laminated panes from P2A to P5A
Large single panes and glazed entrance doors
Framing checks and upgrades where frames are light
Anti-bandit P6B to P8B for high-value stock

Before the glass is ordered

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.

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.

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.

Shopfront security glass in Berkhamsted: questions

Which areas near Berkhamsted do you cover?

We can arrange work in Berkhamsted and in nearby Chesham (4 miles), Hemel Hempstead (5 miles) and Amersham (7 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.

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.
