What to think about first
Clarity

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.
Consents and safety: England
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.
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 Newcastle upon Tyne: questions
Can you survey in Newcastle upon Tyne and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead and Felling are booked around 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.
