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.

Glass and fitting options

Laminated inner pane in new sealed units
Same overall thickness as your current units where possible
Toughened outer pane where safety glass is required
Works with uPVC, aluminium and timber frames
Frames, handles and locks left in place
Security tape or clips on externally beaded windows

Fitting in Salisbury and nearby

From the SP1 district we also cover Andover (16 miles) and Totton (17 miles). Survey dates depend on installer availability.

Wiltshire combines Salisbury's medieval and Georgian centre, Swindon's modern town centre, offices and estates, and stone market towns such as Marlborough, Devizes and Bradford-on-Avon.

Common uses:

Windows beside flat roofs, porches and extensions
Ground-floor windows at the back of the house
Bungalows, where every window is at ground level
Flats on walkways and balconies

What to think about first

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.

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.

Consents and safety: England

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.

Replacing glass in an existing frame

Replacing only the glass or sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair in England rather than notifiable building work. Replacing a whole window or door is notifiable and is normally certified through a competent person scheme or approved by building control. Either way, new glass in a critical location should still be safety glass.

Security glass for home windows in Salisbury: questions

Can you survey in Salisbury and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Salisbury, Andover and Totton are booked around 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.

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.
