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.
Choices you can make
- Made to BS EN 12150 and marked for identification
- Holes, notches and polished edges for frameless fittings
- Made to measure for each opening
- Four to five times the strength of annealed glass
- Clear, tinted, obscure, low-iron and sandblasted finishes
- Single panes or the outer pane of a sealed unit

Things to decide before you order
Measure once, carefully
Toughened glass cannot be cut afterwards, so holes and sizes are fixed at the factory. Accurate survey measurements avoid remakes.
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 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.
Replacing glass in an existing frame
Replacing only the glass or sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair in England rather than notifiable building work. Replacing a whole window or door is notifiable and is normally certified through a competent person scheme or approved by building control. Either way, new glass in a critical location should still be safety glass.

Toughened safety glass in Warminster: questions
Which areas near Warminster do you cover?
We can arrange work in Warminster and in nearby Frome (6 miles), Trowbridge (8 miles) and Melksham (12 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
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.
