Laminated security glass in Shropshire

What should laminated security glass cost in Shropshire?

Our guide range for laminated security glass in Shropshire is £174 to £594 including VAT (£145 to £495 plus VAT) per pane, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.

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.

Choices you can make

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
Breaks safely, meeting impact classes used for critical locations
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

Covering Shropshire

We can arrange surveys and fitting anywhere in Shropshire, including Telford and Shrewsbury. Dates depend on installer availability. Choose your town below for local details.

Shropshire combines Shrewsbury's timber-framed and Georgian centre with Telford's modern town centre, business parks and estates, and hill-country towns such as Ludlow and Bridgnorth.

Good candidates for laminated security glass:

Ground-floor windows that face a garden or alley
Rooflights and overhead glazing
Glazed doors where a thumb-turn lock sits behind the glass
Shop windows and glazed shop doors

Before the glass 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.

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.

Glazing rules in 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 Shropshire: questions

Which towns in Shropshire do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Shropshire, including Telford, Shrewsbury, Wellington, Bridgnorth and Ludlow, and in other towns across the area.

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.

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.

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.
