What is the price of laminated security glass in Thornton-Cleveleys?

Expect £174 to £594 including VAT (£145 to £495 plus VAT) per pane for laminated security glass in Thornton-Cleveleys. The written quote names the glass makeup, the price and the lead time before you commit.

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 goes into laminated security glass

  • Edges sealed and glazed to suit timber, uPVC, aluminium and steel frames
  • 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
  • Breaks safely, meeting impact classes used for critical locations
  • Blocks most UV light, which slows fading of furniture and stock
  • Classes from P1A to P5A under BS EN 356, with heavier P6B to P8B options

Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

Building regulations and safety in 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.

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 Thornton-Cleveleys: questions

Can you survey in Thornton-Cleveleys and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Thornton-Cleveleys, Fleetwood and Blackpool are booked around 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.

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.

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.
