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.

Choices you can make

Toughened outer pane where safety glass is required
Obscure glass for bathrooms and landings
Same overall thickness as your current units where possible
Works with uPVC, aluminium and timber frames
Laminated inner pane in new sealed units
Security tape or clips on externally beaded windows

Fitting in Morpeth and nearby

We can arrange security glass for home windows across Morpeth, the main centre for Northumberland, and in nearby towns including Ashington, Cramlington and Blyth.

Northumberland is mostly rural, with stone market towns such as Hexham, Alnwick and Morpeth, former mining towns like Ashington and Blyth, and coastal villages open to North Sea winds.

Typical places for security glass for home windows:

Windows beside flat roofs, porches and extensions
Ground-floor windows at the back of the house
Bungalows, where every window is at ground level
Flats on walkways and balconies

Things to decide before you order

Beads inside or out

Externally beaded windows can have the glass removed from outside. We fit security tape or clips so that route is closed.

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.

Rules that apply in England

England

Safety glass in critical locations

In England, section 5 of Approved Document K treats glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door edge, from floor level up to 1,500 mm, and any other glazing below 800 mm, as a critical location. Glass there should break safely, be robust, or be guarded. Laminated or toughened glass meeting BS EN 12600 class 3 is the usual answer, rising to class 2 for door and side-panel panes wider than 900 mm.

Windows needed for escape

Approved Document B expects many habitable rooms in houses, particularly upstairs, to have an escape window with a clear opening of at least 0.33 m², at least 450 mm high and 450 mm wide, with the bottom of the opening no more than 1,100 mm above the floor. Changing the glass does not alter that, but locks, secondary glazing and film must not stop the window opening. Laminated glass is hard to break through, so escape always relies on the window opening.

Security glass for home windows in Morpeth: questions

Which areas near Morpeth do you cover?

Can you match my obscure bathroom glass?

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.

No. If your frames are in good condition, we replace just the glass with laminated units made to fit them.
