Security glazing in Devon
Security glazing keeps your Devon display on view all day, so it suits frontages where a shutter would spoil the look.
Owners in the South West should check their insurance wording, as a policy on Devon premises may specify a class of glass. If your Devon 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 Devon?
How much does it cost in Devon?
Budget £180 to £420 ex VAT per m² of glass. Shutters only help once you have closed, so in the South West we also ask how your Devon shop is exposed during trading hours. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Devon?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Devon, including Barnstaple, Exeter, Exmouth, Newton Abbot.
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.
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.
