Security glazing in Cornwall
Shutters only help once you have closed, so in the South West we also ask how your Cornwall shop is exposed during trading hours.
Glass is priced by the square metre, so an owner in Cornwall can protect the most exposed panes first and upgrade the rest later. If your Cornwall shop has suffered a smash-and-grab, we can replace the pane with a BS EN 356 class chosen for that risk.
What do we offer in Cornwall?
How much does it cost in Cornwall?
Expect £180 to £420 ex VAT per m² of glass. Security glazing keeps your Cornwall display on view all day, so it suits frontages where a shutter would spoil the look. The price we confirm in writing includes travel and access.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Cornwall?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Cornwall, including Bodmin, Falmouth, Newquay, Penzance.
What does P4A or P6B mean on security glass?
They are classes from BS EN 356. P1A to P5A are tested by dropping a steel ball on the glass, and P6B to P8B by axe strikes. A higher number means more resistance, and the B classes are aimed at sustained attack, not a single blow.
Will security glass fit my existing frame?
Sometimes. Thicker laminated glass needs a deeper glazing pocket, and its weight may be too much for older beads or hinges. We measure the frame first and confirm whether the pane, the beads and the fixings can carry it, or whether the frame must change.
Do I need security glass if I have a shutter?
Not always. An external shutter protects the glass when the shop is closed, but not during trading hours. If you face a risk of daytime attack, or a shutter is not allowed, security glazing covers that gap. Your insurer may also have a view.
