Laminated security glass in County Armagh

Laminated security glass in County Armagh: what will it cost?

Guide prices for laminated security glass in County Armagh are £174 to £594 including VAT (£145 to £495 plus VAT) per pane for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before any glass is ordered.

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.

Choices you can make

Single panes or the inner or outer pane of a sealed unit
Classes from P1A to P5A under BS EN 356, with heavier P6B to P8B options
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
Breaks safely, meeting impact classes used for critical locations
Edges sealed and glazed to suit timber, uPVC, aluminium and steel frames

Getting the right glass for your building

Frame and rebate depth

Thicker laminates need a deeper glazing rebate and stronger beads. We check what your frames will take before anything is ordered.

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.

What the rules say in Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland

Safety glass in critical locations

In Northern Ireland, safety glazing is covered by Part V of the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012, with guidance in Technical Booklet V. It follows a critical-location approach similar to Great Britain, covering glazing in and beside doors and at low level. Laminated or toughened safety glass is the usual answer; building control at the council can confirm the detail.

Security rules for new homes

If you are building a new home in Northern Ireland, ask the council's building control service which security requirements apply. In existing homes nothing obliges you to upgrade glass, but laminated glass to BS EN 356 P1A in doors and in windows beside them is a common benchmark taken from guidance in Great Britain.

Laminated security glass in County Armagh: questions

Which towns in County Armagh do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in County Armagh, including Armagh, Craigavon, Lurgan and Portadown.

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.

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.

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.
