High Security Glass
Advanced laminated glazing engineered to withstand severe manual attack and protect high-risk environments.
High security glass is specifically engineered to provide enhanced resistance against forced entry, sustained manual attack and impact.
It is typically specified in environments where the protection of people, assets or sensitive operations is critical.
Unlike standard laminated or toughened glazing, high security glass is designed to withstand repeated heavy strikes,
preventing attackers from creating an immediate aperture. The glass remains intact even when fractured,
continuing to act as a physical barrier.
As specialist security glass manufacturers in the UK, Tecdur designs and manufactures high-performance Secure Glass
tested to recognised standards including EN 356 and LPS 1270. Our systems are engineered to withstand severe levels of manual attack
while maintaining clarity and architectural integration.
How High Security Glass Is Classified
EN 356 (Anti-Bandit Glass)
EN 356 classifications range from P1A to P8B.
High security glass is typically associated with higher ratings such as P6B, P7B and P8B,
which require the glazing to withstand repeated axe strikes before an opening can be formed.
LPS 1270
LPS 1270 simulates realistic manual attack scenarios using a range of tools over defined time periods.
Ratings range from SR1 to SR6, with higher levels providing increased resistance and delay against determined intrusion.
Where Is High Security Glass Used?
- High value retail and commercial premises
- VIP and executive protection environments
- Prisons and police custody suites
- Mental health establishments
- Secure government and infrastructure facilities
- High security doors and partition systems
Enhanced Performance Capabilities
High security glass often forms part of a wider protective glazing system.
Depending on project requirements, it can be enhanced to provide additional certified performance characteristics
without compromising attack resistance.
- Ballistic resistance (EN 1063)
- Blast resistance for high-risk environments
- Fire resistance (Exova, CertiFire)
- Acoustic insulation for sensitive areas
- Switchable privacy glass technology
It is important that the framing system, fixings and installation method are compatible with the selected glass specification.
The overall performance of high security glazing depends on the integrity of the complete system, not just the glass itself.
Specifying High Security Glass
Correct specification begins with a realistic threat assessment.
Factors such as site location, asset value, public access, insurance guidance and regulatory compliance
should all inform the chosen certification level.
Tecdur works closely with architects, contractors and consultants to ensure the correct EN 356 or LPS 1270 rating is selected,
delivering a cost-effective solution aligned with the project’s risk profile.
Secure Glass can be:
