- Internal beads and anti-tamper fixings
- Laminated panes from P2A to P5A
- Work planned outside trading hours where possible

Getting the right glass for your building
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.
Clarity
Thick laminated glass can look green. Low-iron glass keeps colours in the window true.
What the rules say in England
Planning permission
Changing the glass in an existing window or shopfront does not usually need planning permission, because the building looks much the same afterwards. A new or altered shopfront, or security features added to the outside of a building, may need planning permission from the council. Bollards or barriers on the pavement need the highway authority's consent, which is normally the council.
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 Newcastle-under-Lyme: questions
Do you cover Stoke-on-Trent as well as Newcastle-under-Lyme?
Yes. As well as Newcastle-under-Lyme, we can arrange surveys in nearby Stoke-on-Trent, Longton and Kidsgrove. 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.
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.
