When it comes to secure doors and windows, toughened safety glass is a top choice. Dorking Window Company offers expertly crafted toughened safety glass solutions in Surrey and Sussex, ideal for conservatories, windows and door installations. Our toughened safety glass meets safety standards and provides energy efficiency, ensuring that your new conservatory, modern aluminium glazing or bespoke glazing windows are secure, insulated, and visually appealing. Toughened glass is also a fantastic option for shop front doors, where safety and visibility are both essential.
Learn more about this type of glass for new windows below, or visit us at our Dorking showroom for further information. You can also see our full range of products, including aluminium bifold doors, secondary glazing, ultra slim sliding doors and roof lanterns.
Toughened safety glass is designed to provide both durability and security. Unlike regular glass, it undergoes a toughening process, which makes it stronger and ensures that, if broken, it shatters into small, harmless pieces rather than sharp shards. This feature is particularly essential for areas with high foot traffic or potential impact, such as doors and low-level windows. In Surrey, we use this safety glass for door installations and bespoke glazing options, allowing you to enjoy both beauty and peace of mind.
Building regulations in England and Wales mandate the use of toughened safety glass in critical areas, which include doors and windows located near floor level. Dorking Window Company ensures compliance with these regulations in all installations, from conservatories to new windows in Surrey.
All glazed doors, whether partially or fully glazed, require toughened glass for safety.
Any glazing from floor level up to 1500mm around doors must be toughened glass.
Windows within 800mm of the internal floor level must be fitted with safety glass.
While not legally required, Dorking Window Company recommends toughened glass in top-lights to maintain a uniform appearance across all glazing areas.
Domestic conservatories, new windows, and even bathrooms can be improved by toughened glass. For example, if you’re installing windows near a shower or bath, it can add a layer of protection due to its impact resistance.

Laminated glass differs from toughened glass in that it includes a film between two glass layers. If broken, the glass holds together rather than shattering. While laminated glass is more expensive and heavier, it provides superior soundproofing and enhanced security—ideal for properties requiring high security and acoustic insulation.
Toughened glass shatters into small pieces, reducing injury risk and making it ideal for shop front doors.
