Laminated security glass in Wrexham

What is the price of laminated security glass in Wrexham?

Typical prices for laminated security glass in Wrexham are £174 to £594 including VAT (£145 to £495 plus VAT) per pane, supplied and fitted. Use the quote tool for a guide figure, then we survey and confirm a fixed price.

Laminated security glass is made by bonding two or more sheets of glass to a plastic interlayer, usually PVB, under heat and pressure. When it is struck the glass cracks but the fragments stay stuck to the interlayer, so the pane keeps filling the opening and has to be attacked again and again before anyone can get through.

Glass and fitting options

Single panes or the inner or outer pane of a sealed unit
Breaks safely, meeting impact classes used for critical locations
PVB interlayers from 0.38 mm to 1.52 mm, or stiffer ionoplast interlayers
Edges sealed and glazed to suit timber, uPVC, aluminium and steel frames
Cut to size on site or in the factory, unlike toughened glass
Clear, low-iron, tinted, obscure and acoustic versions

Fitting in Wrexham and nearby

Surveys in Wrexham (LL13) are booked around installer availability, as they are in nearby Rhosllanerchrugog (4 miles) and Buckley (9 miles).

Clwyd takes in Wrexham's town centre and industrial estates, Deeside's business parks, Victorian seaside towns such as Rhyl and Colwyn Bay, and stone market towns like Ruthin and Denbigh.

This glazing suits:

Rooflights and overhead glazing
Glazed doors where a thumb-turn lock sits behind the glass
Shop windows and glazed shop doors
Low-level glass in homes, schools and offices

Questions we will ask at the survey

Clear or special glass

Low-iron glass removes the green tint on thick panes, acoustic interlayers cut road noise, and obscure versions give privacy for bathrooms and side panels.

Single pane or sealed unit

In double glazing the laminated sheet is normally the inner pane, with a toughened outer pane where safety glass is needed. Single-glazed frames take a laminated pane on its own.

Building regulations and safety in Wales

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.

Replacing glass in an existing frame

Welsh Government guidance says building regulations have applied to replacement glazing since 1 April 2002, which covers replacing windows and doors. Swapping only the glass or a sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair. New glass in a critical location should still be safety glass, and the council's building control team can confirm anything unclear.

Laminated security glass in Wrexham: questions

Can you survey in Wrexham and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Wrexham, Rhosllanerchrugog and Buckley are booked around installer availability.

Can laminated glass be cut to size?

Yes. Unlike toughened glass, laminated glass can be cut after it is made, which helps with odd shapes and quick replacements. The edges are finished and kept dry in the frame to protect the interlayer.

Does laminated glass stop burglars completely?

No glass makes a building impossible to enter. Laminated glass makes breaking in slow, noisy and hard work, which makes the building a much poorer target for an opportunist. Higher classes and stronger frames add more delay.

What does P2A mean on laminated glass?

P2A is a class under BS EN 356. A sample has to stop a 4.11 kg steel ball dropped three times from 3 metres without the ball passing through. It is a sensible minimum for windows and doors that can be reached from the ground.
