Rules that apply in Northern Ireland
Security rules for new homes
If you are building a new home in Northern Ireland, ask the council's building control service which security requirements apply. In existing homes nothing obliges you to upgrade glass, but laminated glass to BS EN 356 P1A in doors and in windows beside them is a common benchmark taken from guidance in Great Britain.
Replacing glass in an existing frame
Building regulations in Northern Ireland are administered by the eleven councils' building control services. Replacing only the glass in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair, while replacing whole windows or doors can be controlled work, so check with building control first. New glass in a critical location should be safety glass under Part V.

Misted unit replacement with laminated glass in Newtownabbey: questions
Which areas near Newtownabbey do you cover?
We can arrange work in Newtownabbey and in nearby Holywood (3 miles), Belfast (4 miles) and Carrickfergus (6 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Will the new unit match the others?
We match the size, spacer colour and glass as closely as we can, including common obscure patterns.
Does replacing a unit need building regulations approval?
Replacing glass or a sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair rather than new building work, across the UK. Replacing the whole window is different and is controlled.
Why is there condensation between my window panes?
The seal around the unit has failed, letting damp air into the gap. The only lasting fix is a new unit.
