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 Scotland

Scotland

Replacing glass in an existing frame

In Scotland, replacing glass in an existing frame is normally treated as a repair rather than work needing a building warrant. Whether replacing whole windows or doors needs a warrant depends on the building, and the work should still meet the building standards. The council's building standards service can confirm what applies.

Windows needed for escape

In Scotland, escape from homes is covered by section 2 (fire) of the Building Standards technical handbooks. Where a room relies on a window for escape, nothing fitted to it should stop it opening, so locks, secondary glazing and film must leave it usable. Laminated glass is not designed to be broken out.

Security glass for home windows in Cumbernauld: questions

Can you survey in Cumbernauld and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Cumbernauld, Airdrie and Coatbridge are booked around installer availability.

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.

Can you match my obscure bathroom glass?

We can usually match common obscure patterns, or fit a laminated obscure glass with a similar look.

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.
