Toughened safety glass is ordinary glass that has been heated and rapidly cooled so its surface is held in compression, making it four to five times stronger than annealed glass of the same thickness. If it does break, it shatters into small, relatively blunt pieces instead of sharp shards, which is why it is used in doors, low-level panes and frameless partitions.

Things to decide before you order

Toughened or laminated

Toughened gives strength and safe breakage. Laminated gives safe breakage and stays in place, which is what security needs. Many doors use both in one sealed unit.

Barriers and balustrades

Glass that acts as a barrier usually needs a laminated toughened makeup so it stays in place if one ply breaks.

Rules that apply in Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland

Safety glass in critical locations

In Northern Ireland, safety glazing is covered by Part V of the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012, with guidance in Technical Booklet V. It follows a critical-location approach similar to Great Britain, covering glazing in and beside doors and at low level. Laminated or toughened safety glass is the usual answer; building control at the council can confirm the detail.

Replacing glass in an existing frame

Building regulations in Northern Ireland are administered by the eleven councils' building control services. Replacing only the glass in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair, while replacing whole windows or doors can be controlled work, so check with building control first. New glass in a critical location should be safety glass under Part V.

Toughened safety glass in County Fermanagh: questions

Which towns in County Fermanagh do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in County Fermanagh, including Enniskillen, Irvinestown and Lisnaskea.

Where must safety glass be used?

In critical locations: in England, Approved Document K covers glazing in and beside doors up to 1,500 mm from the floor and other glazing below 800 mm; Wales has the same idea in its Approved Document N, Scotland in standard 4.8 and Northern Ireland in Part V. Glass there must be safety glass or protected.

Is toughened glass a security glass?

No. Toughened glass is strong and breaks safely, but once broken the pane falls out and leaves the opening clear. For security, choose laminated glass or a unit with a laminated pane.

Can toughened glass be cut to fit?

No. Cutting or drilling toughened glass makes it shatter, so every pane, hole and notch is made to size before toughening.
