Specialists in Educational Building Window Installations
Glazing in schools, colleges, and universities must endure heavy use, minimise risk, and meet strict safety standards. MGC’s Edu-Glass Systems are built for these demands – robust, low-maintenance, and ideal for educational settings.
We recommend laminated safety glass for all external panes. Like a car windscreen, it stays intact on impact, reducing injury risks from shards – perfect for high-traffic areas and exposed elevations.
Benefits of Edu-Glass System
- Impact Resistance Laminated glass withstands knocks and impacts in busy school and college environments.
- Safe Breakage Glass stays intact when broken, helping prevent injuries from sharp edges or fragments.
- Regulation Compliant Meets UK building and safety standards for education, including safeguarding and critical glazing.
- Noise Control Optional acoustic glass reduces external noise in classrooms, halls and shared learning spaces.

FAQs
Is laminated glass required for school windows?
While not always a legal requirement, laminated glass is strongly recommended in schools due to its safety properties, because it reduces the risk of injury and is much harder to break.
Can window installations be carried out during term time?
Yes, we can work flexibly around your school calendar and complete work outside of core hours or during half-term holidays to avoid disruption.
What’s the difference between Edu-Glass System and toughened glass?
The Edu-Glass System isn’t standard toughened glass. While traditional toughened glass is made for general use, Edu-Glass is purpose-built for schools, colleges, and universities. It combines laminated safety glass, acoustic options, and energy-efficient features to deliver greater durability, pupil safety, and comfort in educational environments.
