Getting the right glass for your building

Beads inside or out

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.

What the rules say 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.

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 Crieff: questions

Do you cover Perth as well as Crieff?

Yes. As well as Crieff, we can arrange surveys in nearby Perth, Alloa and Stirling. 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.

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.

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.
