Safety and security

What Glazing is affected?

'Critical locations' is the term given to describe of internal and external walls, doors and partitioning which are of primary concern in terms of glazing safety.

These areas are depicted here and described in the two categories below:

Between the finished floor level and 1500mm (shoulder height) above that level in doors, and in side panels which fall within 300mm of either edge of the door.

Between the finished floor level and 800mm (waist height) above that level in the case of walls, partitions and windows.

It is important to note that any part of a glass pane affected must meet the requirements in its entirety and not just in the relevant section.

Risk Assessments

If you are not sure how to proceed, then we do have a very competitive risk assessment service where you glazing is professionally assessed and surveyed by our professional surveyors and installers.
A written report is given to you identifying areas of non-compliance and risk.
We also carry out a survey and fit service at agreed rates.
