Laminated security glass in Greenwich

How much does laminated security glass cost in Greenwich?

Budget £174 to £594 including VAT (£145 to £495 plus VAT) per pane for laminated security glass in Greenwich, 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

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
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

Things to decide before you order

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.

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.

Rules that apply 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.

Safety glass in critical locations

In England, section 5 of Approved Document K treats glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door edge, from floor level up to 1,500 mm, and any other glazing below 800 mm, as a critical location. Glass there should break safely, be robust, or be guarded. Laminated or toughened glass meeting BS EN 12600 class 3 is the usual answer, rising to class 2 for door and side-panel panes wider than 900 mm.

Laminated security glass in Greenwich: questions

Which areas near Greenwich do you cover?

We can arrange work in Greenwich and in nearby Blackheath (1 mile), Canary Wharf (2 miles) and Catford (2 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.

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.

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.
