Security glazing in Scotland
After a break-in at your Scotland 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 Scotland shop is exposed during trading hours. Glass is priced by the square metre, so an owner in Scotland can protect the most exposed panes first and upgrade the rest later.
What do we offer in Scotland?
How much does it cost in Scotland?
The guide price is £180 to £420 ex VAT per m² of glass. If your Scotland shop has suffered a smash-and-grab, we can replace the pane with a BS EN 356 class chosen for that risk. The price we confirm in writing includes travel and access.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Scotland?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Scotland, including Aberdeen, Airdrie, Ayr, Bearsden. Remote areas are by arrangement.
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.
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.
