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.
Choices you can make
- Frames, finishes and locks unchanged
- Hinge, stay and roller adjustment after fitting
- Survey of every frame before ordering
- Phased work by elevation or floor
- Laminated single panes or laminated sealed units
- Pane-by-pane record of glass fitted

Getting the right glass for your building
Class of glass
P2A suits most homes and offices. Shops and cash areas may need P4A or anti-bandit classes.
Which elevations first
Ground-floor, rear and hidden glass carries most of the risk, so it usually comes first.
What the rules say in Wales
Safety glass in critical locations
In Wales, safety glazing is covered by Approved Document N (glazing) under the Welsh Building Regulations rather than Approved Document K. Glass in doors up to 1,500 mm above the floor, in panes within 300 mm of a door up to 1,500 mm, and in other glazing below 800 mm should be safety glass or protected. Laminated and toughened glass are the usual choices.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for works that affect their character, which can include replacing historic glass, glazing bars or sashes. Cadw advises on the historic environment in Wales. Reversible options such as secondary glazing are often easier to agree, but the council decides.

Laminated glass retrofit in Abergavenny: questions
Which areas near Abergavenny do you cover?
We can arrange work in Abergavenny and in nearby Pontypool (9 miles), Ebbw Vale (9 miles) and Cwmbran (12 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Can you do the work in phases?
Yes. Many customers start with the most exposed windows and do the rest later.
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.
