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
- Works with uPVC, aluminium and timber frames
- Toughened outer pane where safety glass is required
- Frames, handles and locks left in place
- Same overall thickness as your current units where possible
- Security tape or clips on externally beaded windows
- Obscure glass for bathrooms and landings
Fitting in West Bromwich and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting in West Bromwich and across the B70 postcode district, as well as in nearby Smethwick (2 miles) and Wednesbury (3 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
The West Midlands spans Birmingham's city-centre offices and shopping streets, Coventry's post-war precincts, Black Country terraces and long suburban high streets in Wolverhampton and Dudley.
This glazing suits:
- Ground-floor windows at the back of the house
- Windows beside flat roofs, porches and extensions
- Bungalows, where every window is at ground level
- Flats on walkways and balconies
Questions we will ask at the survey
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.
Laminated inner or both panes
A laminated inner pane suits most homes. Laminating both panes adds protection on hidden elevations.
Building regulations and safety 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.
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 West Bromwich: questions
Do you cover Smethwick as well as West Bromwich?
Yes. As well as West Bromwich, we can arrange surveys in nearby Smethwick, Wednesbury and Tipton. Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
Can you match my obscure bathroom glass?
We can usually match common obscure patterns, or fit a laminated obscure glass with a similar look.
