Ways we can help in Pontypool
Glass Balustrades in Pontypool
BS 6180, the code of practice for barriers, says a handrail should be used where glass guards a drop of more than 600mm, unless the glass is laminated toughened glass that would stay in place if a panel failed. That is why frameless balustrades without a top rail use laminated glass.
Safety Glass in Pontypool
Low-iron glass removes most of the slight green tint that ordinary clear glass shows at its edge and through thick panels. It suits tabletops, display shelves and splashback-style panels where true colours and a clearer edge matter.
Glass Splashbacks in Pontypool
Toughened glass cannot be cut or drilled after toughening, so every socket, switch, extractor and window-reveal cut-out is made beforehand. Sockets cannot be moved after the glass is ordered without remaking the panel, so electrical positions need to be final at templating.

Glazing in Pontypool: questions
What happens to the old glass?
We take away the old glass and packaging and dispose of it responsibly. If you would like anything kept, such as original leaded panels, tell us before the work starts.
What is safety glass and where is it needed?
Safety glass is toughened or laminated glass that breaks in a safer way than ordinary float glass. Building regulations require it in critical locations, such as glass in and beside doors and low-level glazing, and we specify it wherever it is required.
Do you handle commercial and shopfront work?
Yes. We quote for shopfront glass, security laminated glazing, office partitions, glazed screens and curtain walling, as well as reactive glass replacement for commercial premises.
Who will actually do the work?
Work is carried out by glaziers working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with. Your quote names the company, the specification and the guarantee terms.
