- Toughened outer pane where safety glass is required
- Laminated inner pane in new sealed units

Fitting in Burntwood and nearby
Surveys in Burntwood (WS7) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Lichfield (4 miles), Cannock (4 miles) and Aldridge (5 miles).
Staffordshire mixes Stoke-on-Trent's Victorian pottery-town terraces with Lichfield's cathedral quarter, Burton's brewery streets and newer estates around Tamworth and Cannock.
This glazing suits:
- Basement and lower-ground windows
- Ground-floor windows at the back of the house
- Flats on walkways and balconies
- Bungalows, where every window is at ground level
Questions we will ask at the survey
Laminated inner or both panes
A laminated inner pane suits most homes. Laminating both panes adds protection on hidden elevations.
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.
Building regulations and safety in England
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.
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.

Security glass for home windows in Burntwood: questions
Can you survey in Burntwood and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Burntwood, Lichfield and Cannock are booked around installer availability.
Do I need new windows to get security glass?
No. If your frames are in good condition, we replace just the glass with laminated units made to fit them.
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.
Can you match my obscure bathroom glass?
We can usually match common obscure patterns, or fit a laminated obscure glass with a similar look.
