What is the price of laminated glass retrofit in Dundee and Angus?
Budget £174 to £534 including VAT (£145 to £445 plus VAT) per pane for laminated glass retrofit in Dundee and Angus, 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.

Questions we will ask at the survey
Which elevations first
Ground-floor, rear and hidden glass carries most of the risk, so it usually comes first.
Frame condition
If a frame is too shallow, damaged or weak, we will say so rather than fit heavier glass into it.
Building regulations and safety in Scotland
Safety glass in critical locations
In Scotland, standard 4.8 of the Building Standards technical handbooks covers glazing at risk of human impact. Panes within 800 mm of floor level, in a door leaf, or within 300 mm of a door leaf and up to 1.5 m above the floor should resist impact in line with BS 6262-4, or be guarded. Laminated and toughened glass are the usual ways to meet it.
Security rules for new homes
Standard 4.13 asks for doors and windows in new homes that are vulnerable to unlawful entry to be secure. Glazing that would let someone reach a lock from outside should be laminated or similarly robust, and easily accessible openable windows need a keyed lock or a keyless lock with laminated glass. It applies through the building warrant for new homes and conversions.

Laminated glass retrofit in Dundee and Angus: questions
Which towns in Dundee and Angus do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Dundee and Angus, including Dundee, Arbroath, Forfar and Montrose.
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.
Will the windows look different?
No. The frames stay and the new glass is clear, unless you choose an obscure or tinted finish.
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.
