The wrong glass in an impact area can create a serious hazard.
Glass in doors, bathrooms, low windows and busy areas has a greater chance of being hit. If it breaks the wrong way, large sharp pieces can put people nearby at risk.
Jim's Glass can inspect the opening and recommend safety glass for its location, size and use. The correct choice depends on the application and the glazing requirements that apply to that site.
For damaged panes, see our glass replacement service. If the opening is unsafe or leaving the property exposed, use emergency glass replacement.

- Cracked glass in a door or entry
- Ordinary glass in an impact-prone area
- Damage near children or a busy walkway
- Glass beside a bath, shower or stair

Safety glass questions
What is safety glass?
Safety glass is made or constructed to reduce the risk of serious injury when it breaks. Toughened and laminated glass are two common types.
What is the difference between toughened and laminated glass?
Toughened glass is heat-treated for strength and breaks into smaller pieces. Laminated glass has an interlayer that helps hold fragments in place after breakage.
Where is safety glass required?
Requirements depend on the location, pane size, height, building use and risk of human impact. Doors, bathrooms and low-level glazing commonly need careful assessment.
Can toughened glass be cut after it is made?
No. Cutting, drilling and edge work must be completed before the glass is toughened, so accurate measurements are required before manufacture.
Is safety glass unbreakable?
No. It is designed to behave more safely and may offer greater strength or fragment retention, depending on the type. It can still break under sufficient impact or edge damage.
Will my insurer require a particular glass type?
An insurer may set claim conditions, while glazing and building requirements determine what is suitable for the opening. Cover and approval depend on the policy and application.
