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.

Glazing rules in England

England

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.

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 Grantham: questions

Which areas near Grantham do you cover?

We can arrange work in Grantham and in nearby Sleaford (11 miles), Newark-on-Trent (13 miles) and Melton Mowbray (14 miles). Dates depend on 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.

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.

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.
