How much should I budget for laminated security glass in Maghull?

Typical prices for laminated security glass in Maghull are £174 to £594 including VAT (£145 to £495 plus VAT) per pane, supplied and fitted. Use the quote tool for a guide figure, then we survey and confirm a fixed price.

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

  • 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
  • Edges sealed and glazed to suit timber, uPVC, aluminium and steel frames
  • Single panes or the inner or outer pane of a sealed unit
  • Breaks safely, meeting impact classes used for critical locations
  • PVB interlayers from 0.38 mm to 1.52 mm, or stiffer ionoplast interlayers

What to think about first

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.

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.

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 Maghull: questions

Do you cover Kirkby as well as Maghull?

Yes. As well as Maghull, we can arrange surveys in nearby Kirkby, Litherland and Ormskirk. Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.
