The core business is 24-7 emergency boarding up and replacement glazing throughout the UK. We work closely with well known retailers, facilities management companies, police forces, hotels and restaurants. We aim to provide a one hour response to out of hours emergency calls. As part of the standard emergency service we can action a rapid replacement of a partially or completely damaged shop front following a ram raid or similar attack. Generally a standard aluminium fully glazed shop front will be completed within one week, however some specialist finishes may take longer. We aim to get back in business as quickly as possible.

In addition to new projects, entrances and shop fronts can be cost effectively upgraded to comply with the Disability Discrimination Act. Glazing contracts are a speciality, regardless of size and complexity, we are the specialists able to provide teams of experienced, fully trained glaziers able to work with automated lifting equipment. No contract is too large or too demanding we will provide a reliable and quality service.

The Requirements of Regulation 14 and those of Document N(fourth impression) of the 1991 Building Regulations are reflected in the British Standards Code of Practise BS6262 Part 4 1994.

All low level glazing where employees or the public are likely to come contact should where necessary for reasons of health and safety be of safety material or be protected against breakage.

Aluline Group can carry out a detailed glazing survey of your premises identifying the relevant glass, determine which needs upgrading, provide an estimated cost and agree a planned implementation programme to complete the work.

Alternatively existing glazed areas can be enhanced to meet BSEN12600 by the application of non-abrasive safety film which will satisfy Regulation 14. A robust screen or barrier may also be adeguate to prevent a falling person coming in contact with the glass.

Which areas are affected?

Only the critical locations which form, or are part of the internal and external walls and doors of shops, showrooms, offices, factories, public or other non-domestic buildings.

In other words all glazing where any part is below 800mm in height and if it is within or adjacent to a door all glazing up to 1500mm.

What is meant by safety material?

Regulation 14 clearly states that laminated glass, toughened glass and annealed glass of the correct thickness are all suitable.

Do we replace all glass immediately?

Good practise glazing companies have been meeting the standards of BS 6262 for many years. If you have not had any glass replaced recently then it is important for you to assess the risk of harm likely to occur should glass in the critical locations be damaged and a common sense approach should be adopted.

What is manifestation?

Large areas of transparent glazing in windows, walls and partitions which could be mistaken for openings should be permanently marked with indicators such as broken or solid lines, patterns or company logos and features such as mullions, transoms, substantial door frames, stall risers or large handles to make glazing apparent.

We can supply sealed double glazed units to EN1279 up to a maximum size of 3000mm x 2000mm, which are available in a diverse range of glass types and thicknesses including laminated safety and security, patterned, decorative glass, low E and fire rated glass. State of art cutting, drilling and edge working machines enable us to provide an excellent cut size supply service to glaziers and shopfitting customers.
