Bomb Blast–Resistant Shopfront Installation Underway at Boots, Manchester Piccadilly Station

installation works are currently underway at Boots in Manchester Piccadilly Station, where a bomb blast–resistant shopfront is being fitted.

The project includes the precise installation of large 300kg laminated glass panels and a Blast tested sliding door system. The system is designed to withstand significant impact and blast pressures while maintaining the clear, refined appearance expected of a modern retail frontage. Installers from Design Rationale Ltd are presently maneuvering the panel into position using specialist lifting equipment.

Design Rationale Ltd is recognized as one of the United Kingdom’s leading designers, suppliers and installers of high-security glazing systems

As global security awareness continues to rise, particularly around major transport hubs and crowded public environments, blast-resistant glazing is increasingly being specified as part of modern safety.
