How much should I budget for security double-glazed units in Inverurie?
Budget £174 to £594 including VAT (£145 to £495 plus VAT) per unit for security double-glazed units in Inverurie, supplied and fitted. Larger panes, thicker makeups and difficult access cost more; the price is fixed in writing after the survey.
A security double-glazed unit is a sealed unit in which one or both panes are laminated glass, usually the inner pane, so the window keeps its insulation but resists being broken through. It fits the same frame as a standard unit and is the simplest way to add security to modern windows and doors.
What you can specify
- Warm-edge spacer bars in black, grey or white
- 24 mm, 28 mm and other overall thicknesses to suit frames
- Toughened outer pane where safety glass is required
- Obscure and decorative glass for bathrooms and doors
- Laminated inner pane, outer pane or both
- Low-E coating and argon fill for insulation

What to think about first
Internal or external beads
If your beads are on the outside, we add security tape or clips so the unit cannot be lifted out after the beads are removed.
Overall thickness
The new unit must suit the frame's glazing rebate. If your frames only take thin units, we use thinner laminates or adjust the beads.
Consents and safety: 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.
Replacing glass in an existing frame
In Scotland, replacing glass in an existing frame is normally treated as a repair rather than work needing a building warrant. Whether replacing whole windows or doors needs a warrant depends on the building, and the work should still meet the building standards. The council's building standards service can confirm what applies.

Security double-glazed units in Inverurie: questions
Do you cover Aberdeen as well as Inverurie?
Yes. As well as Inverurie, we can arrange work in nearby Aberdeen. Dates depend on installer availability.
Do security units reduce noise?
Laminated glass already damps sound better than plain glass, and acoustic interlayers improve it further, which helps on busy roads.
How long do new units take?
Units are made to order after the survey. Lead times vary with glass type and size, and we confirm them when we quote.
Will a laminated unit be heavier?
A little. A laminated pane weighs about the same as a solid sheet of the same thickness. On large opening sashes we check hinges and friction stays.
