How much does laminated glass retrofit cost in Craigavon?
Budget £174 to £534 including VAT (£145 to £445 plus VAT) per pane for laminated glass retrofit in Craigavon, supplied and fitted. Larger panes, thicker makeups and difficult access cost more; the price is fixed in writing after the survey.
A laminated glass retrofit replaces the glass in frames you already have with laminated glass or laminated sealed units, so an existing building gets much more resistance to break-in without the cost and disruption of new windows. It suits homes, offices and shops where the frames are still sound.

Which elevations first

Phasing and budget
Retrofits phase easily. You can upgrade the riskiest panes now and the rest later.
Rules that apply in Northern Ireland
Security rules for new homes
If you are building a new home in Northern Ireland, ask the council's building control service which security requirements apply. In existing homes nothing obliges you to upgrade glass, but laminated glass to BS EN 356 P1A in doors and in windows beside them is a common benchmark taken from guidance in Great Britain.
Replacing glass in an existing frame
Building regulations in Northern Ireland are administered by the eleven councils' building control services. Replacing only the glass in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair, while replacing whole windows or doors can be controlled work, so check with building control first. New glass in a critical location should be safety glass under Part V.

Laminated glass retrofit in Craigavon: questions
Do you cover Lurgan as well as Craigavon?
Yes. As well as Craigavon, we can arrange surveys in nearby Lurgan, Portadown and Banbridge. Dates depend on installer availability.
Will laminated glass fit my frames?
Most modern frames can take a laminated unit of the same overall thickness. We check the rebate depth and beads at the survey.
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.
Will the windows look different?
No. The frames stay and the new glass is clear, unless you choose an obscure or tinted finish.
