- Low-E glass and argon to keep rooms warm

Things to decide before you order
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.
Rules that apply in England
Windows needed for escape
Approved Document B expects many habitable rooms in houses, particularly upstairs, to have an escape window with a clear opening of at least 0.33 m², at least 450 mm high and 450 mm wide, with the bottom of the opening no more than 1,100 mm above the floor. Changing the glass does not alter that, but locks, secondary glazing and film must not stop the window opening. Laminated glass is hard to break through, so escape always relies on the window opening.
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.

Security glass for home windows in Driffield: questions
Can you survey in Driffield and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Driffield, Beverley and Bridlington are booked around 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.
Can you match my obscure bathroom glass?
We can usually match common obscure patterns, or fit a laminated obscure glass with a similar look.
