How much should I budget for laminated security glass in Letchworth Garden City?

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

Options for laminated security glass in Letchworth Garden City

  • Single panes or the inner or outer pane of a sealed unit
  • Blocks most UV light, which slows fading of furniture and stock
  • Clear, low-iron, tinted, obscure and acoustic versions
  • Classes from P1A to P5A under BS EN 356, with heavier P6B to P8B options
  • 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

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.

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 Letchworth Garden City: questions

Which areas near Letchworth Garden City do you cover?

We can arrange work in Letchworth Garden City and in nearby Hitchin (3 miles), Stevenage (5 miles) and Luton (11 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.

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.
