FAQs

What is toughened glass used for? Its safety glass is used where impact resistance or strength is essential.

How fast can you replace broken toughened glass? We secure same-day and fit custom replacements within 24–72 hours.

Is toughened glass better than laminated? It’s stronger but shatters; laminated holds together. We help you choose.

Can you board up toughened glass after it breaks? Yes – we board securely and return with a custom-cut toughened panel.

Do you serve all of Islington N1? Yes, from Angel and Holloway to Highbury Corner and Essex Road.

Toughened Glass: What Makes It Different?

Toughened (or tempered) glass is heat-treated to increase strength and shatter into blunt granules on impact. It’s legally required in critical areas like doors, low-level glazing or stair panels. In Islington’s retail zones and residential flats, this type of glass is everywhere — and when it breaks, it needs fast, certified replacement.

Real-World Repair in Islington: Fast, Local Response

Last month, we were called to a coffee shop near Upper Street after a break-in. Their full-height shop door was in pieces by 7 am. We arrived in 90 minutes, boarded it with anti-tamper fixings and returned with toughened glass cut to spec the following afternoon. The business reopened that day. That’s the kind of service we bring across Islington — from back garden doors in Barnsbury to showroom windows off City Road.

Is Your Broken Glass a Security Risk?

If your toughened glass door, window or panel has shattered, it leaves your space unprotected. Even internal partitions (in offices or shops) can create injury risks. We assess, board up and plan your replacement on the spot. We can match custom glass sizes and finishes for commercial premises, including clear, frosted or branded panels.
