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.

Before the glass is ordered

If a frame is too shallow, damaged or weak, we will say so rather than fit heavier glass into it.

Class of glass

P2A suits most homes and offices. Shops and cash areas may need P4A or anti-bandit classes.

Glazing rules in England

England

Listed buildings and conservation areas

In England, listed building consent from the council may be needed to replace historic glass such as crown or cylinder glass, or to alter glazing bars, sashes and frames. Historic England publishes guidance on traditional windows. Secondary glazing and window film are often easier to agree because they can be removed later, but the council's conservation officer makes the decision.

Safety glass in critical locations

In England, section 5 of Approved Document K treats glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door edge, from floor level up to 1,500 mm, and any other glazing below 800 mm, as a critical location. Glass there should break safely, be robust, or be guarded. Laminated or toughened glass meeting BS EN 12600 class 3 is the usual answer, rising to class 2 for door and side-panel panes wider than 900 mm.

Laminated glass retrofit in Crowborough: questions

Which areas near Crowborough do you cover?

We can arrange work in Crowborough and in nearby Tunbridge Wells (7 miles), East Grinstead (9 miles) and Tonbridge (10 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.
