Fitting in Irvine and nearby
Irvine is about 6 miles from Kilmarnock, the main centre for Ayrshire. We can survey and fit across the KA12 district and in nearby places such as Saltcoats and Troon.
Ayrshire mixes the shopping streets of Ayr and Kilmarnock with coastal towns such as Largs, Troon and Irvine that take Firth of Clyde weather, and rural villages inland.
This glazing suits:
- Flats on walkways and balconies
- Basement and lower-ground windows
- Ground-floor windows at the back of the house
- Windows beside flat roofs, porches and extensions
Questions we will ask at the survey
Which windows first
Start with windows that can be reached without a ladder and are out of sight from the street. We can schedule the rest for later.
Beads inside or out
Externally beaded windows can have the glass removed from outside. We fit security tape or clips so that route is closed.
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.
Replacing glass in an existing frame
In Scotland, replacing glass in an existing frame is normally treated as a repair rather than work needing a building warrant. Whether replacing whole windows or doors needs a warrant depends on the building, and the work should still meet the building standards. The council's building standards service can confirm what applies.

Security glass for home windows in Irvine: questions
Which areas near Irvine do you cover?
We can arrange work in Irvine and in nearby Saltcoats (5 miles), Troon (5 miles) and Kilmarnock (6 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Will security glass make my home warmer or colder?
Choosing low-E glass, argon fill and warm-edge spacers usually matches or beats older units, so most people notice no change or an improvement.
Can you match my obscure bathroom glass?
We can usually match common obscure patterns, or fit a laminated obscure glass with a similar look.
Do I need new windows to get security glass?
No. If your frames are in good condition, we replace just the glass with laminated units made to fit them.
