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

Laminated single panes or laminated sealed units
Hinge, stay and roller adjustment after fitting
Matched to existing rebate depth and beads
Survey of every frame before ordering
Phased work by elevation or floor
Security tape and bead clips where needed

Frame condition

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

Which elevations first

Ground-floor, rear and hidden glass carries most of the risk, so it usually comes first.

Glazing rules in England

England

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.

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.

Laminated glass retrofit in New Milton: questions

Which areas near New Milton do you cover?

We can arrange work in New Milton and in nearby Christchurch (5 miles), Bournemouth (10 miles) and Hythe (14 miles). 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.

Can you do the work in phases?

Yes. Many customers start with the most exposed windows and do the rest later.

Do I need permission to change the glass?

Changing glass in existing frames is generally treated as a repair. Listed buildings may still need listed building consent, so check with the council.
