Security glass for doors in Gwynedd: what will it cost?
Our guide range for security glass for doors in Gwynedd 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
- Safety glass suitable for critical locations
- Laminated inner pane with toughened outer pane
- Laminated backing for leaded and bevelled panels
- Works with timber, uPVC, composite and aluminium doors
- Glass for side panels and fanlights beside the door
- Internal beads or security tape so glass is much harder to remove from outside

Getting the right glass for your building
Composite door glass
Some composite doors use a cassette made by the door's maker. We check whether a laminated version is available before quoting.
Keep the design
Most decorative glass can be copied or rebuilt with a laminated backing pane, so the door looks the same.
What the rules say in Wales
Fire-rated glass is different
Glass in fire doors and fire screens must be fire-rated glass tested as part of that door or screen, under Approved Document B for Wales and, in non-domestic premises, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Security and laminated glass are not fire-rated unless the product is tested for it, so the two cannot simply be swapped.
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 Gwynedd: questions
Which towns in Gwynedd do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Gwynedd, including Bangor, Caernarfon, Holyhead and Pwllheli.
Will new door glass affect my door's warranty?
If the door is still under its maker's warranty, check their terms first. We will tell you if the door needs the maker's own glass.
Is toughened glass enough for a door?
It meets the safety rule but not the security need, because a broken toughened pane falls out. A laminated pane meets both.
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.
