Commercial Emergency Glazing Services
We provide commercial emergency glazing and make safe services for facilities managers, building owners, property managers, and main contractors across the UK. Our work covers all types of commercial glazing, from ground-level shopfronts and office windows through to overhead atriums, high-rise facades, and curtain wall systems.
Many facilities managers add Dynamic Access to their approved supplier list before an incident occurs. Having a specialist contractor pre-approved means works can begin without delay when an emergency arises.
Do you have an emergency requiring the replacement of damaged glass at height?
A risk-reduction plan must be put in place promptly following the breaking or shattering of glass in an overhead location. This should involve the rapid removal of hazards and the prioritisation of safety for building occupants and the general public.
Commercial glazing failures can result from a range of causes, including:
- Physical impact, such as vehicle strikes, vandalism, or accidental damage.
- Thermal stress fractures, particularly in large-format or tinted glazing units.
- Spontaneous breakage of toughened glass caused by nickel sulphide inclusion.
- Storm damage, including wind-driven debris and pressure differentials on high-level facades.
- Seal or gasket failure leading to unit displacement or structural instability.
- Structural movement causing frame distortion and glass cracking.
Emergency glazing make safes may be required for the following reasons:
- Removing broken glass for the safety of building occupants and passersby.
- Maintaining building security.
- Ensuring protection against weather damage until full repairs are carried out.
- Allowing business operations to continue as normal.
- Maintaining health and safety compliance.
