Laminated security glass in Haverfordwest: what will it cost?

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
- Classes from P1A to P5A under BS EN 356, with heavier P6B to P8B options
- 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
- Cut to size on site or in the factory, unlike toughened glass
- Clear, low-iron, tinted, obscure and acoustic versions
- Blocks most UV light, which slows fading of furniture and stock

Getting the right glass for your building
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.
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 Wales
Insurer requirements
Insurers in Wales, as elsewhere, can set conditions for premises, stock and cash, sometimes naming a BS EN 356 class for shop or counter glass. Get the policy wording in writing before ordering. The insurer decides whether the glass meets it, and the glass manufacturer's test evidence comes with our quote.
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 Haverfordwest: questions
Do you cover Pembroke Dock as well as Haverfordwest?
Yes. As well as Haverfordwest, we can arrange work in nearby Pembroke Dock. Dates depend on 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.
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.
Is laminated glass the same as safety glass?
Laminated glass is one type of safety glass, because it breaks safely and stays in place. Toughened glass is the other common type. Only laminated glass also gives real resistance to someone trying to break through.
