What is the price of laminated security glass in Cornwall?

Our guide range for laminated security glass in Cornwall is £174 to £594 including VAT (£145 to £495 plus VAT) per pane, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.

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.

Options for laminated security glass in Cornwall

  • Single panes or the inner or outer pane of a sealed unit
  • PVB interlayers from 0.38 mm to 1.52 mm, or stiffer ionoplast interlayers
  • Blocks most UV light, which slows fading of furniture and stock
  • Classes from P1A to P5A under BS EN 356, with heavier P6B to P8B options
  • Cut to size on site or in the factory, unlike toughened glass
  • Edges sealed and glazed to suit timber, uPVC, aluminium and steel frames

Covering Cornwall

We can arrange surveys and fitting anywhere in Cornwall, including Redruth and Falmouth. Dates depend on installer availability. Choose your town below for local details.

Cornwall's granite and slate cottages, harbourside shops and holiday lets face salt-laden coastal weather, and towns such as Truro, Falmouth and St Ives have conservation areas in their centres.

This glazing suits:

  • Glazed doors where a thumb-turn lock sits behind the glass
  • Low-level glass in homes, schools and offices
  • Rooflights and overhead glazing
  • Ground-floor windows that face a garden or alley

Questions we will ask at the survey

Which security class

P2A suits most homes and many offices. Higher-risk shops, stockrooms and cash areas usually move up to P4A, or to the anti-bandit P6B to P8B classes.

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 England

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.

Insurer requirements

Insurers set their own conditions for shops, offices, stock and cash, and some name a glazing class such as BS EN 356 P6B in the policy wording. Ask for that wording in writing before you order. The insurer decides whether the glass meets their policy; we provide the glass manufacturer's test evidence with the quote.

Laminated security glass in Cornwall: questions

Which towns in Cornwall do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Cornwall, including Redruth, Falmouth, St Austell, Truro and Camborne, and in other towns across the area.

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.

Will laminated glass fit my existing windows?

Usually. A laminated pane or a sealed unit with a laminated inner pane is made to the same overall thickness as your current glass where the frame allows. We check rebate depth, beads and hinges first.

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.
