When do uPVC windows need safety glass? Here's a clear guide.
Safety glass is glass designed to break safely — either toughened (shatters into blunt granules) or laminated (holds together in its interlayer). Ordinary annealed glass breaks into dangerous shards, which is why safety glass is used where people could contact it.
We specify safety glass where the opening calls for it — doors, low glazing, large panes, anywhere someone could fall against it. It's not needed on every window, and we won't upsell it where it isn't.
Where people could contact the glass — doors, low-level glazing, and large panes — yes. Not on every window; we specify it where the opening's risk calls for it.
Toughened (breaks into blunt granules) or laminated (holds together in its interlayer). Ordinary annealed glass isn't safety glass.
Neither universally — toughened for impact strength, laminated for noise and holding together.
