How much should I budget for laminated security glass in Shepherds Bush?

As a guide, allow £174 to £594 including VAT (£145 to £495 plus VAT) per pane for laminated security glass in Shepherds Bush, supplied and fitted. Size, glass makeup, access and frame condition move the price, which is confirmed in writing after the free 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.

What you can specify

  • Clear, low-iron, tinted, obscure and acoustic versions
  • 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
  • Cut to size on site or in the factory, unlike toughened glass
  • Blocks most UV light, which slows fading of furniture and stock
  • Breaks safely, meeting impact classes used for critical locations

Fitting in Shepherds Bush and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting in Shepherds Bush and across the W12 postcode district, as well as in nearby Notting Hill (1 mile) and Chiswick (2 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Greater London has every kind of glazing, from Georgian sashes and Victorian bays in conservation areas to high-street shopfronts, office curtain walling and new-build flats.

Common uses:

  • Low-level glass in homes, schools and offices
  • Rooflights and overhead glazing
  • Glazed doors where a thumb-turn lock sits behind the glass
  • Shop windows and glazed shop doors

What to think about first

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.

Consents and safety: England

England

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.

Insurer requirements

Insurers set their own conditions for shops, offices, stock and cash, and some name a glazing class such as BS EN 356 P6B in the policy wording. Ask for that wording in writing before you order. The insurer decides whether the glass meets their policy; we provide the glass manufacturer's test evidence with the quote.

Laminated security glass in Shepherds Bush: questions

Do you cover Notting Hill as well as Shepherds Bush?

Yes. As well as Shepherds Bush, we can arrange surveys in nearby Notting Hill, Chiswick and Fulham. Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.

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.
