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
- Double-sided security glazing tape between unit and frame
- No change to how the window looks
- Concealed fixings for aluminium beads
- Suitable for windows and glazed doors
- Bead clips and bead locks for uPVC frames
- Can be combined with laminated units

Glass at the same time
If units are misted or due for replacement, it is cheaper to fit laminated units and tape in one visit.
Which windows
Ground-floor and hidden windows come first; upstairs windows that cannot be reached are a lower priority.
Consents and safety: Wales
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 rules for new homes
Wales introduced its own Approved Document Q for new homes, in force from 1 November 2018, and it applies to newly erected dwellings only. It follows a similar approach to England's, with PAS 24 referenced for easily accessible doors and windows and laminated glass to BS EN 356 P1A in doors and nearby windows. It does not apply to changing the glass in an existing home.

Glazing bead security upgrades in Rhosllanerchrugog: questions
Which areas near Rhosllanerchrugog do you cover?
Yes. As well as Rhosllanerchrugog, we can arrange visits in nearby Wrexham, Buckley and Mold. Dates depend on installer availability.
Will the upgrade change how my windows look?
No. The tape is hidden behind the beads and clips are discreet.
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 burglars really remove the glass from outside?
On some externally beaded windows, yes. The beads can be eased off and the unit lifted out quietly. Security tape and clips make that much harder.
