Laminated security glass in Llanelli: what will it cost?
Guide prices for laminated security glass in Llanelli 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.
What you can specify
- Breaks safely, meeting impact classes used for critical locations
- Classes from P1A to P5A under BS EN 356, with heavier P6B to P8B options
- Blocks most UV light, which slows fading of furniture and stock
- Edges sealed and glazed to suit timber, uPVC, aluminium and steel frames
- Clear, low-iron, tinted, obscure and acoustic versions
- PVB interlayers from 0.38 mm to 1.52 mm, or stiffer ionoplast interlayers

Getting the right glass for your building
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.
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.
What the rules say in Wales
Security rules for new homes
Wales introduced its own Approved Document Q for new homes, in force from 1 November 2018, and it applies to newly erected dwellings only. It follows a similar approach to England's, with PAS 24 referenced for easily accessible doors and windows and laminated glass to BS EN 356 P1A in doors and nearby windows. It does not apply to changing the glass in an existing home.
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.

Laminated security glass in Llanelli: questions
Do you cover Gorseinon as well as Llanelli?
Yes. As well as Llanelli, we can arrange surveys in nearby Gorseinon, Swansea and Ammanford. Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
