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.

What to think about first

Barriers and balustrades

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

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.

Consents and safety: 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.

Glazing in workplaces

The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 contain an equivalent requirement to Great Britain's: windows and transparent surfaces in walls, partitions, doors and gates must be of safety material or protected where health or safety requires it, and marked so they are apparent. The employer's risk assessment decides where.

Toughened safety glass in Dungannon: questions

Do you cover Cookstown as well as Dungannon?

Yes. As well as Dungannon, we can arrange surveys in nearby Cookstown, Armagh and Portadown. Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

How can I tell if glass is toughened?

Look for a permanent mark etched in a corner naming the standard. Polarised sunglasses can also show faint patterns in toughened glass. We can check during the survey.
