Security glass for doors in Clwyd

How much should I budget for security glass for doors in Clwyd?

Our guide range for security glass for doors in Clwyd is £150 to £510 including VAT (£125 to £425 plus VAT) per door, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.

Security glass for doors replaces the glazed panel in a front, back or side door with laminated safety glass, usually in a sealed unit with a toughened outer pane. It stops the common trick of breaking the glass to reach in and turn a key or thumb-turn left in the lock.

What you can specify

Laminated backing for leaded and bevelled panels
Internal beads or security tape so glass is much harder to remove from outside
Clear, obscure and decorative designs
Laminated inner pane with toughened outer pane
Safety glass suitable for critical locations

What to think about first

Side panels too

Side panels within 300 mm of the door are critical locations as well, and a weak side panel is an easy way in. We usually do both together.

Thumb-turns and keys

Laminated glass makes reaching a thumb-turn far harder. Keeping keys away from the door helps too.

Consents and safety: Wales

Wales

Replacing glass in an existing frame

Welsh Government guidance says building regulations have applied to replacement glazing since 1 April 2002, which covers replacing windows and doors. Swapping only the glass or a sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair. New glass in a critical location should still be safety glass, and the council's building control team can confirm anything unclear.

Safety glass in critical locations

In Wales, safety glazing is covered by Approved Document N (glazing) under the Welsh Building Regulations rather than Approved Document K. Glass in doors up to 1,500 mm above the floor, in panes within 300 mm of a door up to 1,500 mm, and in other glazing below 800 mm should be safety glass or protected. Laminated and toughened glass are the usual choices.

Security glass for doors in Clwyd: questions

Which towns in Clwyd do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Clwyd, including Wrexham, Buckley, Deeside, Colwyn Bay and Flint, and in other towns across the area.

Does door glass have to be safety glass?

Yes. Glass in doors up to 1,500 mm from the floor, and in side panels within 300 mm of the door edge, counts as a critical location and needs safety glass or protection.

Can you replace glass in a composite door?

Often. Some composite doors take a standard unit; others use the maker's own cassette, which we source where possible.

Can you keep my stained or leaded glass design?

Usually. We add a laminated pane behind the decorative glass inside the sealed unit, or have a matching unit made.
