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.
What you can specify
- Phased work by elevation or floor
- Survey of every frame before ordering
- Security tape and bead clips where needed
- Laminated single panes or laminated sealed units
- Pane-by-pane record of glass fitted
- Matched to existing rebate depth and beads

Before the glass is ordered
Frame condition
If a frame is too shallow, damaged or weak, we will say so rather than fit heavier glass into it.
Phasing and budget
Retrofits phase easily. You can upgrade the riskiest panes now and the rest later.
Glazing rules in Scotland
Replacing glass in an existing frame
In Scotland, replacing glass in an existing frame is normally treated as a repair rather than work needing a building warrant. Whether replacing whole windows or doors needs a warrant depends on the building, and the work should still meet the building standards. The council's building standards service can confirm what applies.
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.
