Before the glass is ordered
Laminated inner or both panes
A laminated inner pane suits most homes. Laminating both panes adds protection on hidden elevations.
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.
Glazing rules 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.
Security rules for new homes
Wales introduced its own Approved Document Q for new homes, in force from 1 November 2018, and it applies to newly erected dwellings only. It follows a similar approach to England's, with PAS 24 referenced for easily accessible doors and windows and laminated glass to BS EN 356 P1A in doors and nearby windows. It does not apply to changing the glass in an existing home.

Security glass for home windows in Pwllheli: questions
Do you cover Caernarfon as well as Pwllheli?
Yes. As well as Pwllheli, we can arrange work in nearby Caernarfon. 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.
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.
