Laminated security glass in King's Lynn

What is the price of laminated security glass in King's Lynn?

Budget £174 to £594 including VAT (£145 to £495 plus VAT) per pane for laminated security glass in King's Lynn, 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.

What you can specify

Clear, low-iron, tinted, obscure and acoustic versions
Cut to size on site or in the factory, unlike toughened glass
PVB interlayers from 0.38 mm to 1.52 mm, or stiffer ionoplast interlayers
Breaks safely, meeting impact classes used for critical locations
Edges sealed and glazed to suit timber, uPVC, aluminium and steel frames
Blocks most UV light, which slows fading of furniture and stock

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.

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.

Building regulations and safety 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 King's Lynn: questions

Do you cover Wisbech as well as King's Lynn?

Yes. As well as King's Lynn, we can arrange surveys in nearby Wisbech, March and Spalding. 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.

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.
