CRITICAL LOCATIONS
in internal and external walls in terms of safety
(BS 6262 part 4)
Safety glass is required on any panel below 1500mm from the floor on a
door or within 300mm of a door. It is also required on any panel within
800mm of the floor.
Laminated glass is also strongly recommended for security. Because it
is constructed of two layers of glass with a plastic interlayer it
resists casual break-in attempts.
