Things to decide before you order

Laminated inner or both panes

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.

Rules that apply in England

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 Golborne: questions

Do you cover Newton-le-Willows as well as Golborne?

Yes. As well as Golborne, we can arrange surveys in nearby Newton-le-Willows, Ashton-in-Makerfield and Leigh. 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.

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.
