Laminated security glass in Aldershot

How much does laminated security glass cost in Aldershot?

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.

Options for laminated security glass in Aldershot

Things to decide before you order

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.

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.

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.

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 Aldershot: questions

Which areas near Aldershot do you cover?

We can arrange work in Aldershot and in nearby Farnham (3 miles), Farnborough (3 miles) and Fleet (4 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.
