How much does laminated security glass cost in Newcastle upon Tyne?

Budget £174 to £594 including VAT (£145 to £495 plus VAT) per pane for laminated security glass in Newcastle upon Tyne, 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.

Glass and fitting options

  • Blocks most UV light, which slows fading of furniture and stock
  • Breaks safely, meeting impact classes used for critical locations
  • Clear, low-iron, tinted, obscure and acoustic versions
  • Edges sealed and glazed to suit timber, uPVC, aluminium and steel frames
  • Classes from P1A to P5A under BS EN 356, with heavier P6B to P8B options
  • PVB interlayers from 0.38 mm to 1.52 mm, or stiffer ionoplast interlayers

Fitting in Newcastle upon Tyne and nearby

Surveys in Newcastle upon Tyne (NE1) are booked around installer availability, as they are in nearby Gateshead (1 mile) and Felling (2 miles).

Tyne and Wear covers Newcastle's Grainger Town stone streets and quayside offices, the town centres of Sunderland and Gateshead, and large inter-war and post-war housing estates.

Typical places for laminated security glass:

  • Glazed doors where a thumb-turn lock sits behind the glass
  • Low-level glass in homes, schools and offices
  • Ground-floor windows that face a garden or alley
  • Rooflights and overhead glazing

Things to decide before you order

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.

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.

Rules that apply 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.

Security rules for new homes

Approved Document Q has applied to new homes in England since 1 October 2015. Easily accessible doors and windows, meaning any part within 2 m vertically of the ground or another accessible surface, should meet PAS 24 or an equivalent, and glazing in doors and in windows within 400 mm of a door should be laminated to at least BS EN 356 P1A. It does not apply when you change the glass in an existing home, although it is a sensible benchmark.

Laminated security glass in Newcastle upon Tyne: questions

Can you survey in Newcastle upon Tyne and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead and Felling 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.

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.

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.
