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

Obscure and decorative glass for bathrooms and doors
Toughened outer pane where safety glass is required
24 mm, 28 mm and other overall thicknesses to suit frames
Security glazing tape or clips where beads are external
Warm-edge spacer bars in black, grey or white
Low-E coating and argon fill for insulation

Fitting in Milton Keynes and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting across Milton Keynes and the MK6 postcode district, and in nearby Bletchley (3 miles), Leighton Buzzard (10 miles) and Ampthill.

Milton Keynes' glass-fronted shopping centre and business districts contrast with Buckinghamshire's older towns, where Aylesbury, Amersham and Marlow keep many period shopfronts.

This glazing suits:

Ground-floor and basement windows
Glazed back and side doors
Replacing misted or damaged units
Patio doors and bifolds

Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

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.

Building regulations and safety 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.

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.

Security double-glazed units in Milton Keynes: questions

Do you cover Bletchley as well as Milton Keynes?

Yes. As well as Milton Keynes, we can arrange surveys in nearby Bletchley, Leighton Buzzard and Ampthill. Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.

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.
