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

Same overall thickness as your current units where possible
Toughened outer pane where safety glass is required
Security tape or clips on externally beaded windows
Works with uPVC, aluminium and timber frames
Low-E glass and argon to keep rooms warm
Obscure glass for bathrooms and landings

Fitting in Epsom and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting in Epsom and across the KT17 postcode district, as well as in nearby Ewell (2 miles) and Banstead (3 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Surrey's commuter towns such as Guildford, Woking and Epsom mix Victorian and inter-war houses with modern glazed offices, while Farnham and Godalming have extensive conservation areas.

Typical places for security glass for home windows:

Basement and lower-ground windows
Bungalows, where every window is at ground level
Flats on walkways and balconies
Ground-floor windows at the back of the house

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.

Which windows first

Start with windows that can be reached without a ladder and are out of sight from the street. We can schedule the rest for later.

Rules that apply in England

Security rules for new homes

Approved Document Q has applied to new homes in England since 1 October 2015. Easily accessible doors and windows, meaning any part within 2 m vertically of the ground or another accessible surface, should meet PAS 24 or an equivalent, and glazing in doors and in windows within 400 mm of a door should be laminated to at least BS EN 356 P1A. It does not apply when you change the glass in an existing home, although it is a sensible benchmark.

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 Epsom: questions

Do you cover Ewell as well as Epsom?

Yes. As well as Epsom, we can arrange surveys in nearby Ewell, Banstead and Sutton. Dates depend on 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.

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.
