Glazing rules in Wales

Wales

Safety glass in critical locations

In Wales, safety glazing is covered by Approved Document N (glazing) under the Welsh Building Regulations rather than Approved Document K. Glass in doors up to 1,500 mm above the floor, in panes within 300 mm of a door up to 1,500 mm, and in other glazing below 800 mm should be safety glass or protected. Laminated and toughened glass are the usual choices.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for works that affect their character, which can include replacing historic glass, glazing bars or sashes. Cadw advises on the historic environment in Wales. Reversible options such as secondary glazing are often easier to agree, but the council decides.

Laminated glass retrofit in Colwyn Bay: questions

Do you cover Llandudno as well as Colwyn Bay?

Yes. As well as Colwyn Bay, we can arrange surveys in nearby Llandudno, Rhyl and Prestatyn. Dates depend on installer availability.

Is retrofitting cheaper than new windows?

Usually, yes, because frames, plastering and making good are not involved. It only makes sense where the frames are sound.

Can you do the work in phases?

Yes. Many customers start with the most exposed windows and do the rest later.

Do I need permission to change the glass?

Changing glass in existing frames is generally treated as a repair. Listed buildings may still need listed building consent, so check with the council.
