Laminated security glass in Pitlochry

Laminated security glass in Pitlochry: what will it cost?

Expect £174 to £594 including VAT (£145 to £495 plus VAT) per pane for laminated security glass in Pitlochry. 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 you can specify

Blocks most UV light, which slows fading of furniture and stock
PVB interlayers from 0.38 mm to 1.52 mm, or stiffer ionoplast interlayers
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
Cut to size on site or in the factory, unlike toughened glass

Getting the right glass for your building

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.

What the rules say in Scotland

Scotland

Safety glass in critical locations

In Scotland, standard 4.8 of the Building Standards technical handbooks covers glazing at risk of human impact. Panes within 800 mm of floor level, in a door leaf, or within 300 mm of a door leaf and up to 1.5 m above the floor should resist impact in line with BS 6262-4, or be guarded. Laminated and toughened glass are the usual ways to meet it.

Security rules for new homes

Standard 4.13 asks for doors and windows in new homes that are vulnerable to unlawful entry to be secure. Glazing that would let someone reach a lock from outside should be laminated or similarly robust, and easily accessible openable windows need a keyed lock or a keyless lock with laminated glass. It applies through the building warrant for new homes and conversions.

Laminated security glass in Pitlochry: questions

Do you cover Blairgowrie as well as Pitlochry?

Yes. As well as Pitlochry, we can arrange surveys in nearby Blairgowrie, Crieff and Perth. 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.

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.
