Security glazing in Derbyshire
Security glazing keeps your Derbyshire display on view all day, so it suits frontages where a shutter would spoil the look.
Glass is priced by the square metre, so an owner in Derbyshire can protect the most exposed panes first and upgrade the rest later. Owners in the East Midlands should check their insurance wording, as a policy on Derbyshire premises may specify a class of glass.

Budget £180 to £420 ex VAT per m² of glass. If your Derbyshire shop has suffered a smash-and-grab, we can replace the pane with a BS EN 356 class chosen for that risk. The price we confirm in writing includes travel and access.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Derbyshire?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Derbyshire, including Chesterfield, Derby, Ilkeston, Long Eaton.
Is security glass the same as toughened glass?
No. Toughened glass resists impact but breaks into small pieces when it fails, leaving the opening clear. Security glazing is laminated, so it cracks and stays in place, which keeps an attacker out for longer. Some products combine toughened and laminated layers.
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.
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.
