What to think about first
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.
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.
Consents and safety: 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.
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 glass for home windows in Mangotsfield: questions
Do you cover Bristol as well as Mangotsfield?
Yes. As well as Mangotsfield, we can arrange surveys in nearby Bristol, Yate and Bath. 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.
Can you match my obscure bathroom glass?
We can usually match common obscure patterns, or fit a laminated obscure glass with a similar look.
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.
