Trade laminated and acoustic glass in Somerset

Ordering laminated and acoustic glass for jobs in Somerset

If laminated glass breaks, the interlayer holds the pieces in place, which is why it is used overhead and where people could fall against the glass.

An acoustic interlayer damps sound better than standard laminated glass of the same thickness. In a sealed unit, combining panes of different thicknesses helps further.

Building regulations in England

Under Approved Document K, glazing in critical locations (doors, and side panels within 300mm of a door, up to 1500mm above floor level; other glazing below 800mm) must break safely, be robust or in small panes, or be permanently protected. Toughened and laminated safety glass are classified to BS EN 12600. Replacing only the glass in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair rather than notifiable work.

Before anything goes into production you get a written order acknowledgement with sizes, finishes and handing for every item. Check it carefully, because made-to-measure items cannot be returned if the sizes were wrong.
