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.
What you can specify
- Toughened outer pane where safety glass is required
- Same overall thickness as your current units where possible
- Obscure glass for bathrooms and landings
- Security tape or clips on externally beaded windows
- Works with uPVC, aluminium and timber frames
- Low-E glass and argon to keep rooms warm

Dumfries and Galloway is rural, with Dumfries and Stranraer as the main towns, sandstone market towns such as Castle Douglas and Kirkcudbright, and coastal properties along the Solway.

- Windows beside flat roofs, porches and extensions
- Bungalows, where every window is at ground level
- Basement and lower-ground windows
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.
Keep or replace frames
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.
Building regulations and safety in Scotland
Windows needed for escape
In Scotland, escape from homes is covered by section 2 (fire) of the Building Standards technical handbooks. Where a room relies on a window for escape, nothing fitted to it should stop it opening, so locks, secondary glazing and film must leave it usable. Laminated glass is not designed to be broken out.
Security rules for new homes
Standard 4.13 asks for doors and windows in new homes that are vulnerable to unlawful entry to be secure. Glazing that would let someone reach a lock from outside should be laminated or similarly robust, and easily accessible openable windows need a keyed lock or a keyless lock with laminated glass. It applies through the building warrant for new homes and conversions.

Security glass for home windows in Lockerbie: questions
Do you cover Annan as well as Lockerbie?
Yes. As well as Lockerbie, we can arrange work in nearby Annan. Dates depend on 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.
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.
Can you match my obscure bathroom glass?
We can usually match common obscure patterns, or fit a laminated obscure glass with a similar look.
