Worth knowing
Worth checking before work starts
A few rules and checks that apply to this kind of work.
Safety glass
In England, glass in critical locations should be safety glazing: any panel up to 800mm from the floor, and glass up to 1500mm from the floor in a door or in a side panel up to 300mm from it.
Measuring for toughened glass
Toughened glass can't be cut once it is made, so it is made to measure. Let the glazier measure once the wall or opening is ready, with any tiling done.
Compare the glass
Ask each glazier to give the type and thickness of glass in their quote, so you can compare like with like.
