Keep or replace frames

A laminated inner pane suits most homes. Laminating both panes adds protection on hidden elevations.

Building regulations and safety in Scotland

Scotland

Safety glass in critical locations

In Scotland, standard 4.8 of the Building Standards technical handbooks covers glazing at risk of human impact. Panes within 800 mm of floor level, in a door leaf, or within 300 mm of a door leaf and up to 1.5 m above the floor should resist impact in line with BS 6262-4, or be guarded. Laminated and toughened glass are the usual ways to meet it.

Security rules for new homes

Standard 4.13 asks for doors and windows in new homes that are vulnerable to unlawful entry to be secure. Glazing that would let someone reach a lock from outside should be laminated or similarly robust, and easily accessible openable windows need a keyed lock or a keyless lock with laminated glass. It applies through the building warrant for new homes and conversions.

Security glass for home windows in Motherwell: questions

Do you cover Hamilton as well as Motherwell?

Yes. As well as Motherwell, we can arrange surveys in nearby Hamilton, Wishaw and Coatbridge. Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.
