Security rules for new homes

Approved Document Q has applied to new homes in England since 1 October 2015. Easily accessible doors and windows, meaning any part within 2 m vertically of the ground or another accessible surface, should meet PAS 24 or an equivalent, and glazing in doors and in windows within 400 mm of a door should be laminated to at least BS EN 356 P1A. It does not apply when you change the glass in an existing home, although it is a sensible benchmark.

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 Golborne: questions

Do you cover Newton-le-Willows as well as Golborne?

Yes. As well as Golborne, we can arrange surveys in nearby Newton-le-Willows, Ashton-in-Makerfield and Leigh. 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.

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.
