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
- Frames, handles and locks left in place
- Works with uPVC, aluminium and timber frames

Essex runs from Chelmsford and Colchester's town-centre retail and Georgian streets to Southend's seafront and large post-war and new-build estates in Basildon and Harlow.
This glazing suits:
- Ground-floor windows at the back of the house
- Basement and lower-ground windows
- Windows beside flat roofs, porches and extensions
- Bungalows, where every window is at ground level
Questions we will ask at the survey
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.
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.
Building regulations and safety in England
Replacing glass in an existing frame
Replacing only the glass or sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair in England rather than notifiable building work. Replacing a whole window or door is notifiable and is normally certified through a competent person scheme or approved by building control. Either way, new glass in a critical location should still be safety glass.
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 South Ockendon: questions
Do you cover Grays as well as South Ockendon?
Yes. As well as South Ockendon, we can arrange surveys in nearby Grays, Hornchurch and Dartford. 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.
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.
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.
