Safety Glass
At Delta Glazing we have been providing excellent services in a variety of sectors for over 25 years. With our extensive experience we have no problem in dealing with just about any glazing situation we come across as you can see by the extensive glazing services we offer.
Safety glass is designed to reduce the risk of injury in the event of breakage. It includes toughened (tempered) or laminated glass that shatters into small, harmless pieces or remains intact when broken. Commonly used in high-traffic areas, doors, and windows, safety glass offers increased strength and safety compared to standard glass.

Frequently Asked Questions
Both laminated glass and toughened glass are used as safety glass in different situations, but which one is better to choose?
The choice between laminated and toughened glass depends on the specific requirements of the application:
- Laminated Glass is better for areas where security and soundproofing are priorities. It consists of layers bonded with an interlayer, which holds the glass together when broken, preventing shattering and offering superior durability.
- Toughened Glass is ideal for situations where high impact resistance is needed, such as in large windows, glass doors, or partitions. It is heat-treated to enhance its strength and breaks into small, blunt pieces upon impact, reducing the risk of injury.
Both options comply with safety standards, but laminated glass is often preferred for security, while toughened glass is suited for high-traffic areas.
When do I need safety glass in doors and windows, and what type?
Safety glass is required wherever there is a higher risk of breakage or injury, as per building regulations. Key areas include:
- Doors: Glass panels in or near doors should use laminated or toughened glass to prevent injuries.
- Low-Level Windows: Any glazing below 800mm from floor level must use safety glass to protect against accidental impacts.
- Large Glazed Panels: Windows or partitions over 1m² typically require safety glass.
- Type to Use: Laminated glass is ideal for security-sensitive areas, while toughened glass suits areas with frequent contact or movement.
Why do doors and windows need safety glass?
Doors and windows need safety glass to protect occupants and property from injuries caused by glass breakage. Ordinary glass can shatter into sharp fragments, posing a serious risk. Safety glass options like laminated or toughened glass are designed to minimize this danger, either by containing the shards or breaking into harmless pieces. Additionally, safety glass complies with building regulations, enhances security, and offers durability in high-impact or high-traffic areas.
