Things to decide before you order
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.
Rules that apply in Scotland
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the council for works affecting their character, which can include historic glass, glazing bars and sash windows. Historic Environment Scotland is consulted on some cases and publishes guidance on traditional windows. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of shopfronts and external changes.
Security rules for new homes
Standard 4.13 asks for doors and windows in new homes that are vulnerable to unlawful entry to be secure. Glazing that would let someone reach a lock from outside should be laminated or similarly robust, and easily accessible openable windows need a keyed lock or a keyless lock with laminated glass. It applies through the building warrant for new homes and conversions.

Laminated glass retrofit in Blairgowrie: questions
Do you cover Perth as well as Blairgowrie?
Yes. As well as Blairgowrie, we can arrange surveys in nearby Perth, Dundee and Pitlochry. 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.
Can you do the work in phases?
Yes. Many customers start with the most exposed windows and do the rest later.
