Security double-glazed units in Dundee

What is the price of security double-glazed units in Dundee?

As a guide, allow £174 to £594 including VAT (£145 to £495 plus VAT) per unit for security double-glazed units in Dundee, supplied and fitted. Size, glass makeup, access and frame condition move the price, which is confirmed in writing after the free 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.

Choices you can make

Laminated inner pane, outer pane or both
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
Obscure and decorative glass for bathrooms and doors
Made to measure for each sash, light and door panel

Fitting in Dundee and nearby

We can arrange security double-glazed units across Dundee, the main centre for Dundee and Angus, and in nearby towns including Cupar, St Andrews and Forfar.

Dundee's waterfront offices and city-centre shops sit among sandstone tenements, while Angus has the market town of Forfar and coastal Arbroath, Carnoustie and Montrose.

This glazing suits:

Windows in flats on walkways and balconies
Ground-floor and basement windows
Glazed back and side doors
Replacing misted or damaged units

Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

Building regulations and safety in Scotland

Scotland

Security rules for new homes

Standard 4.13 asks for doors and windows in new homes that are vulnerable to unlawful entry to be secure. Glazing that would let someone reach a lock from outside should be laminated or similarly robust, and easily accessible openable windows need a keyed lock or a keyless lock with laminated glass. It applies through the building warrant for new homes and conversions.

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 Dundee: questions

Which areas near Dundee do you cover?

We can arrange work in Dundee and in nearby Cupar (10 miles), St Andrews (11 miles) and Forfar (12 miles). 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.

Which pane should be laminated?

Usually the inner pane, so smashing the outer pane does not create an opening. On doors and low panes the outer pane is normally toughened to meet safety rules.

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.
