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.

Choices you can make

Made to measure for each sash, light and door panel
Security glazing tape or clips where beads are external
Low-E coating and argon fill for insulation
Warm-edge spacer bars in black, grey or white
Toughened outer pane where safety glass is required
Laminated inner pane, outer pane or both

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.

Glazing rules in England

England

Listed buildings and conservation areas

In England, listed building consent from the council may be needed to replace historic glass such as crown or cylinder glass, or to alter glazing bars, sashes and frames. Historic England publishes guidance on traditional windows. Secondary glazing and window film are often easier to agree because they can be removed later, but the council's conservation officer makes the decision.

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.

Security double-glazed units in Weymouth: questions

Which areas near Weymouth do you cover?

We can arrange work in Weymouth and in nearby Dorchester (7 miles), Bridport (15 miles) and Poole (22 miles). 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.

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.
