A glazing bead security upgrade makes the glass much harder to remove from the outside of a window or door. On frames with external beads, a burglar can sometimes prise off the beads and lift the whole unit out quietly, and bonding the glass with security tape or fitting bead clips makes that route much harder.
What the work covers
- Can be combined with laminated units
- Beads replaced where cracked or brittle
- Double-sided security glazing tape between unit and frame
- No change to how the window looks
- Suitable for windows and glazed doors
- Bead clips and bead locks for uPVC frames

Typical reasons to book:
- Glazed doors with external beads
- Aluminium windows and doors with external beads
- Older uPVC windows with beads on the outside
- Ground-floor and back windows
Things to think about
Which windows
Ground-floor and hidden windows come first; upstairs windows that cannot be reached are a lower priority.
Tape, clips or both
Tape stops the unit being lifted out; clips make the beads harder to remove. Both together give the best result.
Building regulations and safety in Scotland
Safety glass in critical locations
In Scotland, standard 4.8 of the Building Standards technical handbooks covers glazing at risk of human impact. Panes within 800 mm of floor level, in a door leaf, or within 300 mm of a door leaf and up to 1.5 m above the floor should resist impact in line with BS 6262-4, or be guarded. Laminated and toughened glass are the usual ways to meet it.
Security rules for new homes
Standard 4.13 asks for doors and windows in new homes that are vulnerable to unlawful entry to be secure. Glazing that would let someone reach a lock from outside should be laminated or similarly robust, and easily accessible openable windows need a keyed lock or a keyless lock with laminated glass. It applies through the building warrant for new homes and conversions.
How it works

Glazing bead security upgrades in Troon: questions
Do you cover Irvine as well as Troon?
Yes. As well as Troon, we can arrange visits in nearby Irvine, Ayr and Kilmarnock. Dates depend on installer availability.
Does the glass have to come out to fit security tape?
Yes. Each unit is removed, the tape is applied to the frame and the unit is refitted, so it is a good moment to swap in laminated glass if wanted.
How do I know if my beads are on the outside?
Look at the glass from outside. If you can see a separate clip-in strip around the edge of the glass, and the frame inside is plain, the beads are external.
Can you do this on aluminium windows?
Often, depending on the bead design. We check the profile when we confirm the price.
