Legal requirements: Where do you fit safety glass?
It is a legal requirement to fit safety in critical locations to all replacement windows, doors and replacement panes of glass.
The diagram shows the critical areas where safety glazing, for example toughened glass, must be used in new and replacement glazing installations.
Types of window glass for enhanced safety:
We have two types of safety glass that can offer additional benefits: laminated glass and toughened glass.
Laminated Glass
This type of glass consists of two or more glass panes bonded together by a strong interlayer, typically Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB). This reduces the risk of injury by breaking and prevents people or objects from falling through the window opening. Laminated glass also offers superior sound insulation compared to traditional window glass.
Toughened glass
Toughened glass is a popular option for windows due to its superior strength and safety features. This type of glass undergoes a heating and cooling treatment process, making it significantly stronger and more shatter-resistant compared to regular glass. It is ideal for use in windows located in critical locations, such as ground floor windows, bathroom windows, and patio doors. In the unfortunate event of a break, toughened glass crumbles into small, blunt pieces, minimising the risk of serious injury.

How security glass windows enhance your home safety
Investing in safety glass windows is a proactive measure to enhance home security and protect your loved ones and belongings. Their superior strength deters break-ins by making them far tougher to shatter than regular glass. This discourages burglars in two ways: the noise and time required to break through raise the risk of getting caught, and even if broken, the glass won’t easily create a large entry point. This delay can be critical, allowing your security system to activate or neighbours to intervene.
