Security glazing in Greater London
If your Greater London shop has suffered a smash-and-grab, we can replace the pane with a BS EN 356 class chosen for that risk.
After a break-in at your Greater London shop in London, our 24/7 line can arrange boarding, and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call. Shutters only help once you have closed, so in London we also ask how your Greater London shop is exposed during trading hours.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Greater London?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Greater London, including Acton, Barking, Brixton, Bromley.
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.
