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
- Same overall thickness as your current units where possible
- Security tape or clips on externally beaded windows
- Works with uPVC, aluminium and timber frames
- Laminated inner pane in new sealed units
- Low-E glass and argon to keep rooms warm
- Toughened outer pane where safety glass is required

Getting the right glass for your building
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.
Laminated inner or both panes
A laminated inner pane suits most homes. Laminating both panes adds protection on hidden elevations.
What the rules say in Wales
Windows needed for escape
Approved Document B for Wales sets out escape window provisions for homes broadly in line with England's, including minimum clear opening sizes and a maximum sill height. New glass does not change those, but locks, secondary glazing and film must leave an escape window able to open. Laminated glass is not designed to be broken out.
Replacing glass in an existing frame
Welsh Government guidance says building regulations have applied to replacement glazing since 1 April 2002, which covers replacing windows and doors. Swapping only the glass or a sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair. New glass in a critical location should still be safety glass, and the council's building control team can confirm anything unclear.

Security glass for home windows in Bangor, Gwynedd: questions
Do you cover Caernarfon as well as Bangor, Gwynedd?
Yes. As well as Bangor, Gwynedd, we can arrange surveys in nearby Caernarfon, Llandudno and Colwyn Bay. Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
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.
