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.

Rules that apply in England

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.

Security glass for home windows in Billingham: questions

Which areas near Billingham do you cover?

We can arrange work in Billingham and in nearby Stockton-on-Tees (2 miles), Middlesbrough (2 miles) and Thornaby-on-Tees (4 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.

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.
