What is the price of security glass for home windows in Llantwit Major?
Our guide range for security glass for home windows in Llantwit Major is £162 to £474 including VAT (£135 to £395 plus VAT) per window, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.
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.
What you can specify
- Security tape or clips on externally beaded windows
- Same overall thickness as your current units where possible
- Laminated inner pane in new sealed units
- Obscure glass for bathrooms and landings
- Frames, handles and locks left in place
- Toughened outer pane where safety glass is required
Fitting in Llantwit Major and nearby

South Glamorgan covers Cardiff's city-centre arcades, offices and Bay waterfront, Victorian terraces in Canton and Roath, and the coastal towns of Barry and Penarth.
This glazing suits:
- Ground-floor windows at the back of the house
- Bungalows, where every window is at ground level
- Windows beside flat roofs, porches and extensions
- Flats on walkways and balconies
Questions we will ask at the survey
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.
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.
Building regulations and safety in Wales
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.
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.

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