Security glazing in Northern Ireland

Owners in the area should check their insurance wording, as a policy on Northern Ireland premises may specify a class of glass.

Laminated security glass holding after an impact

After a break-in at your Northern Ireland shop in the area, 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 the area we also ask how your Northern Ireland shop is exposed during trading hours.

What do we offer in Northern Ireland?

Security filmRetrofit film can help hold broken glass together, but it is not the same as a pane rated to BS EN 356.
P6B to P8B anti-bandit glassAxe-tested glass for higher-risk retail, where an attacker may try to cut a way through.
Laminated double-glazed unitsA security pane can form part of a sealed unit, combining attack resistance with heat retention.

How much does it cost in Northern Ireland?

As a guide, allow £180 to £420 ex VAT per m² of glass. If your Northern Ireland shop has suffered a smash-and-grab, we can replace the pane with a BS EN 356 class chosen for that risk. We set out every cost in writing before work starts.

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of Northern Ireland?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Northern Ireland, including Antrim, Armagh, Ballymena, Bangor, County Down. Remote areas are by arrangement.

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.

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.
