Security glazing in Kent
If your Kent shop has suffered a smash-and-grab, we can replace the pane with a BS EN 356 class chosen for that risk.
Glass is priced by the square metre, so an owner in Kent can protect the most exposed panes first and upgrade the rest later. After a break-in at your Kent shop in the South East, our 24/7 line can arrange boarding, and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Kent?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Kent, including Ashford, Canterbury, Chatham, Dartford.
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.
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.
