Safety glass in critical locations
These are designated areas where toughened safety glass, or another approved safety glass option, must be installed. The price of any safety glass where legally required will be included in your quote as standard for replacement windows and replacement double glazed sashes.
Marking
Toughened safety glass must be permanently marked with a BS EN 12150 conformity marking, which indicates compliance with relevant safety standards and building regulations. Further information can be found at the Glass and Glazing Federation website.
