Security glass for home windows means replacing the glass in your existing frames with laminated glass or sealed units that have a laminated pane. The windows look and open exactly as before, but breaking the glass becomes a slow, noisy job rather than a quick way into the house.

Things to decide before you order

Laminated inner or both panes

A laminated inner pane suits most homes. Laminating both panes adds protection on hidden elevations.

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.

Rules that apply in Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland

Windows needed for escape

Fire safety in new building work in Northern Ireland is covered by the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 and Technical Booklet E. Where a room relies on a window for escape, locks, secondary glazing and film must leave it able to open. Laminated glass is not designed to be broken out.

Security rules for new homes

If you are building a new home in Northern Ireland, ask the council's building control service which security requirements apply. In existing homes nothing obliges you to upgrade glass, but laminated glass to BS EN 356 P1A in doors and in windows beside them is a common benchmark taken from guidance in Great Britain.

Security glass for home windows in Omagh: questions

Can you survey in Omagh and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Omagh, Irvinestown and Strabane are booked around installer availability.

Does replacing the glass need building regulations approval?

Replacing glass in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair. Replacing whole windows is controlled work: notifiable in England and Wales, and in Scotland and Northern Ireland the council's building control can say whether approval is needed. New glass in a critical location should still be safety glass.

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.

Can you match my obscure bathroom glass?

We can usually match common obscure patterns, or fit a laminated obscure glass with a similar look.
