Nursery glazing in Sheffield
We fit nursery glazing throughout Sheffield and the surrounding S1, S2, S3 districts. The typical opening is a single small sash or casement, frequently the coldest room in the house, and the specification we reach for is 6.4 mm laminated with toughened safety glass where the cill is below 800 mm.
Local detail that changes the job
Small rooms swing in temperature faster than large ones, so the thermal benefit of sealing the window is more noticeable in a nursery than anywhere else in the house.
Safety glazing to Part K is applied automatically to any pane within 800 mm of floor level, and we laminate rather than simply toughen where a cot sits under the window.
Sheffield housing stock is Victorian and Edwardian terraces on the west side, 1930s semis in the suburbs, and a large stock of stone-built cottages in the Peak District fringe, which sets what we find behind the plaster line.
Nearest motorway is M1 J33 and the main corridor is Ring Road (A61) — both matter for a nursery on that side of the house.
Sheffield has over 1,000 listed buildings — the highest concentration is around the university quarter and the west end.

Common questions
What glass do you use in a child's room?
Laminated safety glass as standard on any low-level pane. It meets Part K and, unlike plain toughened glass, holds together in the frame if it is broken.
Can the window be locked shut?
Yes — key-locking handles and opening restrictors are both available, and we fit restrictors by default in rooms used by young children.
Will it stop the room being stuffy?
The secondary unit opens for ventilation whenever you want it. We would also check that the primary window's trickle vent path is clear at survey.
