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 we look at
- Suitable for windows and glazed doors
- Double-sided security glazing tape between unit and frame
- Bead clips and bead locks for uPVC frames
- Concealed fixings for aluminium beads
- Beads replaced where cracked or brittle
- Checks for missing or loose beads and packers

Before the visit
Brittle beads
Old beads can crack when removed. We bring replacements so they can be renewed rather than refitted damaged.
Tape, clips or both
Tape stops the unit being lifted out; clips make the beads harder to remove. Both together give the best result.
Glazing rules in Northern Ireland
Safety glass in critical locations
In Northern Ireland, safety glazing is covered by Part V of the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012, with guidance in Technical Booklet V. It follows a critical-location approach similar to Great Britain, covering glazing in and beside doors and at low level. Laminated or toughened safety glass is the usual answer; building control at the council can confirm the detail.
Replacing glass in an existing frame
Building regulations in Northern Ireland are administered by the eleven councils' building control services. Replacing only the glass in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair, while replacing whole windows or doors can be controlled work, so check with building control first. New glass in a critical location should be safety glass under Part V.

Glazing bead security upgrades in Dungannon: questions
Which areas near Dungannon do you cover?
Yes. As well as Dungannon, we can arrange visits in nearby Cookstown, Armagh and Portadown. 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.
