Choices you can make
- Same overall thickness as your current units where possible
- Frames, handles and locks left in place
- Laminated inner pane in new sealed units
- Works with uPVC, aluminium and timber frames
- Security tape or clips on externally beaded windows
- Toughened outer pane where safety glass is required

Before the glass is ordered
Laminated inner or both panes
A laminated inner pane suits most homes. Laminating both panes adds protection on hidden elevations.

If the frames are sound, new glass is the cheaper upgrade. If they are failing, we will tell you so you can compare with new windows.
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.

Security glass for home windows in Downpatrick: questions
Which areas near Downpatrick do you cover?
We can arrange work in Downpatrick and in nearby Comber (15 miles), Newtownards (18 miles) and Lisburn (19 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
Which windows do burglars target?
Mostly ground-floor windows at the back and side, and windows that can be reached from flat roofs or walls. Those are the ones we suggest upgrading first.
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.
