Anti Shatter

Regulation 14 of states all glazing within a building used for commercial purposes must be protected against breakage and glazing must meet BS 6206. All glazing in critical areas must be correctly marked to reduce the risk of collision.

Regulation 14 applies to all new and existing glazing within a building no matter how new or old. By applying window film to the existing glass we can ensure the glass will break safely, danger areas are highlighted and all of this can be done at a fraction of the cost of glass replacement.

The current laws state that the buildings occupants not the buildings owners are liable for any accident where any glass fitted in critical locations is not protected against breakage

The regulations state :

Every window or glazed area in a wall, partition,door or gate shall be of safety material or be protected against breakage- ie. should not break on impact or should break safely.
Safety glazing material must meet BS 6206 class B in doors and side panels over 900mm wide and class C in those less than 900mm wide, Low level glazing must meet a minimum of BS 6206 class C.

Critical locations are :
Between the finished floor level and 1500mm above that level in doors and side panels that fall within 300mm of either edge of the door
Between the finished floor level and 800mm above that level in the case of walls, partitions and windows

It's important to note that any part of a glass pane affected must meet the requirements in it's entirety and not just the relevant section
