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

Clarity

Thick laminated glass can look green. Low-iron glass keeps colours in the window true.

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

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.

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.

Shopfront security glass in Littlehampton: questions

Which areas near Littlehampton do you cover?

We can arrange work in Littlehampton and in nearby Bognor Regis (6 miles), Worthing (7 miles) and Chichester (11 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Do I need planning permission to change shop glass?

Replacing glass in an existing shopfront does not normally need planning permission. Changing the shopfront design, adding external shutters or altering a listed building usually does.

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 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.
