The role of safety glass is to protect the resident from the resulting fragments of glass and applies to glazing that reduces the risk of an accident by impact or fracture. The two most common types of safety glass are toughened glass and laminated glass.

What is Safety & Security? Reducing the risk of accident or protecting against deliberate attack. The term “Safety” is applied to glazing used to reduce the risk of accident by impact, fracture, shattering, or in a fire.

You may have selected a security glass, but don't forget that it will still need to resist wind and barrier loads. Follow these tips to fully maximise the use of security glass in building projects and improve the work undertaken alongside fabricators.

Designing glass for use in barriers can appear complex at first, with a number of safety and technical measures to take into consideration. In this article we explain the design principles behind some of the most common glass barriers.

Safety & Security. Protection from accidents. Where glass is used overhead, at low level or in and around doors, windows and screens, the relevant standards must be met to protect against accidental human impact, such as children running into a patio door. There are three types of common safety glass:

From banks and shopping centres to offices and schools, modern safety and security glass allows specifiers and installers to create aesthetically pleasing buildings, while protecting the people inside. Although safety and security glass are closely linked, there is a key distinction between the two.

Safety & Security Protection from accidents. Correctly specified and installed, glass is ideal for use inside the home in a wide range of areas including doors, partitions, balconies, and balustrades. Ensure that you have taken advice on the type of glass to use in each application.

They must be able to fulfil an essential safety and security function, particularly important in relation to the value of goods that are exposed, protecting them from attempted thefts or accidental breakage that may occur.

Channel Glass. Solar Energy. Effective transparent fire protection is team work. A fire-resistant system is always as efficient and reliable as the sum of its components. This is why Pilkington is consistently following the principle of a complete solution for transparent fire protection in buildings.

Pilkington's Fire-resistant Glass range ensures safer as well as space giving, brighter and sustainable fire safety design.
