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
- Frames, finishes and locks unchanged
- Survey of every frame before ordering
- Security tape and bead clips where needed
- Hinge, stay and roller adjustment after fitting
- Laminated single panes or laminated sealed units
- Phased work by elevation or floor

- Blocks of flats with communal glazing
- Shops wanting more security without a new frontage
Things to decide before you order
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.
Rules that apply in England
Replacing glass in an existing frame
Replacing only the glass or sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair in England rather than notifiable building work. Replacing a whole window or door is notifiable and is normally certified through a competent person scheme or approved by building control. Either way, new glass in a critical location should still be safety glass.
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.

Laminated glass retrofit in Sleaford: questions
Do you cover Grantham as well as Sleaford?
Yes. As well as Sleaford, we can arrange surveys in nearby Grantham, Boston and Lincoln. 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.
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.
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.
