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

Made to measure for each sash, light and door panel
Obscure and decorative glass for bathrooms and doors
Low-E coating and argon fill for insulation
Laminated inner pane, outer pane or both
Security glazing tape or clips where beads are external
24 mm, 28 mm and other overall thicknesses to suit frames

Ayrshire mixes the shopping streets of Ayr and Kilmarnock with coastal towns such as Largs, Troon and Irvine that take Firth of Clyde weather, and rural villages inland.

Typical places for security double-glazed units:

Windows in flats on walkways and balconies
Ground-floor and basement windows
Patio doors and bifolds
Glazed back and side doors

Things to decide before you order

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.

Energy performance

Choosing low-E glass, argon and warm-edge spacers keeps the window as efficient as possible, often better than the unit being replaced.

Rules that apply in Scotland

Scotland

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.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the council for works affecting their character, which can include historic glass, glazing bars and sash windows. Historic Environment Scotland is consulted on some cases and publishes guidance on traditional windows. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of shopfronts and external changes.

Security double-glazed units in Saltcoats: questions

Do you cover Irvine as well as Saltcoats?

Yes. As well as Saltcoats, we can arrange surveys in nearby Irvine, Troon and Largs. Dates depend on installer availability.

Can I just replace the glass and keep my frames?

Yes, if the frames are sound. We measure each unit, make security units to the same size and fit them into your existing frames.

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.

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.
