Security glazing in Leicestershire
Shutters only help once you have closed, so in the East Midlands we also ask how your Leicestershire shop is exposed during trading hours.
If your Leicestershire shop has suffered a smash-and-grab, we can replace the pane with a BS EN 356 class chosen for that risk. Security glazing keeps your Leicestershire display on view all day, so it suits frontages where a shutter would spoil the look.

Budget £180 to £420 ex VAT per m² of glass. Owners in the East Midlands should check their insurance wording, as a policy on Leicestershire premises may specify a class of glass. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Leicestershire?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Leicestershire, including Coalville, Hinckley, Leicester, Loughborough.
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.
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.
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.
