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
- Suitable for windows and glazed doors
- Concealed fixings for aluminium beads
- Bead clips and bead locks for uPVC frames
- Can be combined with laminated units
- Checks for missing or loose beads and packers

Before the visit
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.
Rules that apply in England
Security rules for new homes
Approved Document Q has applied to new homes in England since 1 October 2015. Easily accessible doors and windows, meaning any part within 2 m vertically of the ground or another accessible surface, should meet PAS 24 or an equivalent, and glazing in doors and in windows within 400 mm of a door should be laminated to at least BS EN 356 P1A. It does not apply when you change the glass in an existing home, although it is a sensible benchmark.
Safety glass in critical locations
In England, section 5 of Approved Document K treats glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door edge, from floor level up to 1,500 mm, and any other glazing below 800 mm, as a critical location. Glass there should break safely, be robust, or be guarded. Laminated or toughened glass meeting BS EN 12600 class 3 is the usual answer, rising to class 2 for door and side-panel panes wider than 900 mm.

Glazing bead security upgrades in Staveley: questions
Which areas near Staveley do you cover?
Yes. As well as Staveley, we can arrange visits in nearby Chesterfield, Dronfield and Sheffield. Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
Can you do this on aluminium windows?
Often, depending on the bead design. We check the profile when we confirm the price.
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.
