How much should I budget for security double-glazed units in Deeside?
Expect £174 to £594 including VAT (£145 to £495 plus VAT) per unit for security double-glazed units in Deeside. The written quote names the glass makeup, the price and the lead time before you commit.
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 goes into security double-glazed units
- Security glazing tape or clips where beads are external
- Laminated inner pane, outer pane or both
- 24 mm, 28 mm and other overall thicknesses to suit frames
- Low-E coating and argon fill for insulation
- Obscure and decorative glass for bathrooms and doors
- Warm-edge spacer bars in black, grey or white

What to think about first
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.
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.
Consents and safety: Wales
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for works that affect their character, which can include replacing historic glass, glazing bars or sashes. Cadw advises on the historic environment in Wales. Reversible options such as secondary glazing are often easier to agree, but the council decides.
Replacing glass in an existing frame
Welsh Government guidance says building regulations have applied to replacement glazing since 1 April 2002, which covers replacing windows and doors. Swapping only the glass or a sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair. New glass in a critical location should still be safety glass, and the council's building control team can confirm anything unclear.

Security double-glazed units in Deeside: questions
Can you survey in Deeside and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Deeside, Hawarden and Buckley are booked around 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.
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.
