Security glazing in Herefordshire
Owners in the West Midlands should check their insurance wording, as a policy on Herefordshire premises may specify a class of glass.
Security glazing keeps your Herefordshire display on view all day, so it suits frontages where a shutter would spoil the look. Shutters only help once you have closed, so in the West Midlands we also ask how your Herefordshire shop is exposed during trading hours.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Herefordshire?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Herefordshire, including Hereford, Leominster, Ross-on-Wye.
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.
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.
