Laminated security glass in Hull

How much should I budget for laminated security glass in Hull?

Budget £174 to £594 including VAT (£145 to £495 plus VAT) per pane for laminated security glass in Hull, supplied and fitted. Larger panes, thicker makeups and difficult access cost more; the price is fixed in writing after the survey.

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

Breaks safely, meeting impact classes used for critical locations
Blocks most UV light, which slows fading of furniture and stock
Cut to size on site or in the factory, unlike toughened glass
Edges sealed and glazed to suit timber, uPVC, aluminium and steel frames
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

Rooflights and overhead glazing
Shop windows and glazed shop doors
Ground-floor windows that face a garden or alley
Glazed doors where a thumb-turn lock sits behind the glass

What to think about first

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.

Security rules for new homes

Approved Document Q has applied to new homes in England since 1 October 2015. Easily accessible doors and windows, meaning any part within 2 m vertically of the ground or another accessible surface, should meet PAS 24 or an equivalent, and glazing in doors and in windows within 400 mm of a door should be laminated to at least BS EN 356 P1A. It does not apply when you change the glass in an existing home, although it is a sensible benchmark.

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.

Laminated security glass in Hull: questions

Which areas near Hull do you cover?

We can arrange work in Hull and in nearby Beverley (8 miles), Grimsby (16 miles) and Scunthorpe (17 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.
