Security glazing in Suffolk
Glass is priced by the square metre, so an owner in Suffolk can protect the most exposed panes first and upgrade the rest later.
Owners in the East of England should check their insurance wording, as a policy on Suffolk premises may specify a class of glass. Shutters only help once you have closed, so in the East of England we also ask how your Suffolk shop is exposed during trading hours.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Suffolk?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Suffolk, including Bury St Edmunds, Felixstowe, Ipswich, Lowestoft.
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.
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.
