There are many areas where safety glass is necessary to protect yourself or others.
Safety glass is designed to resist breaking and if broken it is intended to minimise injuries by shattering. Safety glass is predominantly used in public areas, car windows; to promote safety in the event of a collision and critical areas where it is mandatory.
There are two types of safety glass commonly used: toughened and laminated glass. Neither are unbreakable, they are designed to minimise the risk of injury.
Types of Safety Glass
Toughened Glass
This breaks into small pieces that have blunt edges which are unlikely to cause serious injury, rather than breaking into jagged pieces like regular glass. Toughened or tempered glass is manufactured through an extreme heating and cooling process, this strengthens the glass making it four to five times stronger than standard glass.
Laminated Glass
Laminated safety glass is made in the same way as toughened glass but is sandwiched together by a sheet of polyvinyl butyral (adhesive film which can be transparent or coloured). This is also required to make tinted glass. If laminated glass is broken, the adhesive film acts like tape holding the shards of glass together without allowing it to fall.
Our toughened or laminated glass can be used where national standards or Codes of Practice specifically require the use of safety glazing materials, such as low level areas where a child could accidentally fall.

What Our Customers Say
Just had new front door fitted with this company. From initial enquiry through to quote and fitting was seamless. All staff very polite, friendly and knowledgable. Would definitely use this firm again and have no hesitation in recommending them to others.
From the salesman, to the office staff to the fitters every step was easy and professional. A great local company with fantastic windows and doors. The fitters were immaculately tidy. A pleasure from start to finish.
Had all the windows and doors replaced, very nice quality, great service. Work men were very hardworking, polite and respectful. No cold calling or pushing after we showed original interest which was good. Would highly recommend this company.
